Google Maps has renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America as part of an executive order by President Trump, who aims to restore American pride in national history. This change reverses an Obama-era decision and reflects an ongoing dialogue about historical naming conventions. While the name will display differently for various users worldwide, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has expressed concern over this decision. Google aligns its map names with local government directives, while Apple has yet to implement similar changes.
The president stated that these names are part of a gesture toward "[restoring] American pride in the history of American greatness."
