The president of Mexico on Thursday expressed hope that Google “reconsiders” its decision to change its online maps to reflect U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that he has the authority to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico.

Shortly after taking office, Trump issued an executive order announcing he was changing the name of the body of water to the Gulf of America.

For U.S. users of Google Maps, the gulf was listed as the Gulf of America as of Thursday. Google, whose CEO attended Trump’s inauguration along with other tech moguls, said last month it has “a long-standing practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.”

But Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Thursday that her government “will file a civil suit” against Google if it does not revert back to labeling the international body of water the Gulf of Mexico.

    Sorry, I’m not ready to move past you accusing me of ignoring something I addressed directly. Why did you do that?

      I’m sorry you’re not ready to accept that you’re stuck on one word, ignoring the rest of the sentence. Just because you claim you addressed it, doesn’t mean you really did.

      You’re asking why did I point that? Welp, because you lied by ommission.

        I literally addressed it. I quoted me addressing it. And now you’re accusing me of lying? Are you just a troll?
