Tech Giants Rename Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America Following Trump Order

Following President Donald Trump's executive order, Google and Apple Maps have renamed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America for U.S. users. International users will see both names, while users in Mexico will see the original designation. This move, which also involves changes by Bing Maps, aligns with updates from the U.S. Geographic Names Information System. The order reflects a broader trend of naming disputes and has faced mixed reactions, including acknowledgment of the original name by some media outlets. The situation illustrates the complexities of changing geographical names at a federal level.
