Google announced that it will rename the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America in the U.S., following President Donald Trump's announcement regarding the matter. "When official names vary between countries, Maps users see their official local name. Everyone in the rest of the world sees both names," Google said, calling the decision part of a long-standing practice.
Trump's executive order titled "Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness" also reverts the name of Denali, North America's tallest peak in Alaska, back to Mount McKinley. Google confirmed this change will also appear on its maps. President Barack Obama's administration had changed the name the mountain to Denali in 2015 as a symbolic gesture to Alaska Natives.
