Google Renames Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America Following Trump Order

Google Maps will adopt the name changes mandated by the Trump administration, renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America' and reverting Denali back to 'Mount McKinley' in the U.S. These updates will occur once they are officially reflected in the U.S. Geographic Names System. While users in the U.S. will see the new names, Google will retain the traditional names for international users, reflecting local naming conventions globally. The changes have prompted mixed reactions, with supporters viewing them as a restoration of historical names and critics arguing they overlook indigenous heritage. Trump's executive order is part of his broader agenda to reaffirm American historical identity. The updates mark a significant shift in how these landmarks will be represented on digital platforms moving forward.
