Google Maps Changes Name to Gulf of America

Google Maps in the United States now shows the name Gulf of America instead of Gulf of Mexico, following a decree by President Donald Trump. The tech company stated that it uses names from official government sources, hence the change. The Gulf of Mexico has been the traditional name for the body of water along the southern coast of the United States and the eastern coast of Mexico since the sixteenth century.

In response to Trump's decision, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized that it will remain the Gulf of Mexico for Mexico and the rest of the world.
