You might be hearing about the gulf off the coast of the U.S. and Mexico. Here's what to know about the body of water the size of Alaska.
Trump will make good on his promise to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, as he floated in a news conference earlier this month. A preview of the order, first obtained by the New York Post, said both the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali will be renamed, with the latter reverting back to its previous name, Mount McKinley.
The Department of the Interior says they're moving quickly to implement President Donald Trump's executive order to rename Mount Denali and the Gulf of Mexico.
Mexican president says President Trump can call the gulf whatever he wants but that the world will still call it the Gulf of Mexico.
Google Maps has announced it will update its platform to reflect President Trump’s decision to rename two iconic geographic features — the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali. The pair will soon appear on the platform as the “Gulf of America” and “Mount McKinley,” respectively.
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.
This comes after President Trump signed an executive order on Inauguration Day that ordered the name Mt. McKinley be reinstated and the Gulf of Mexico be renamed.
Google said only users in the U.S. will see the change, adding that the name “Gulf of Mexico” will remain displayed for users in Mexico and that users in other countries will see both names.
