North Carolina’s representatives in the U.S. House split on whether to rename the Gulf of Mexico. Now the bill must go before the Senate.

The Republican-led House has passed a bill that would rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and direct federal agencies to update their documents and maps to incorporate the new name.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says Google Maps should use 'Gulf of America' only for the portions of the Gulf that lie within US territory.
