Google announced a controversial name change for the Gulf of Mexico, renaming it 'Gulf of America' for users in the United States. The change follows an official designation by the US Interior Department and stems from executive orders signed by President Trump, meant to fulfill campaign promises. The new name will be visible in the US on Google Maps, while retaining 'Gulf of Mexico' in Mexico. Other alterations, such as renaming Denali to Mount McKinley, were also included in the sweeping orders. Mexican officials have responded humorously, asserting their claim to the traditional name.
The US Interior Department officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America as part of President Trump's executive orders.
This change will only be visible in the US, with both names visible outside Mexico and the US.
