President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico has protested Google’s decision to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico as Trump has unilaterally decreed.
For us it is still the Gulf of Mexico, and for the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico,” President Claudia Sheinbaum said.
Google said the name changes, which also includes using Mount McKinley, will happen when Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated.
Though U.S. maps will reflect Trump's new name for the body of water, the rest of the world will continue calling it the Gulf of Mexico
Apple Maps has seemingly taken a half step in addressing the United States Gulf of Mexico renaming, but it isn't clear if this is the permanent solution or a placeholder.
Google said it would rename the body of water to “Gulf of America” after it is updated in the U.S. government system in response to Trump’s executive order.
Google Maps will change the name of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System, Google said in an X post on Monday.
Google said it would change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” for its Google Maps users in the United States to stay in line with President Donald Trump’s executive order making the switch.
When Google announced it was complying with US President Donald Trump’s executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, many Mexicans responded with a laugh and a long, exhausted sigh.
While the Gulf of America will be applied to federal references, other nations will not be required to recognize the name.
The memo was an embarrassment. It went on about Marxism and transgenderism and the non-existent Green New Deal, as to be expected — all the memos and orders from the new administration sound like they were written by right-wing social media troll-bots.
