Is it the Gulf of Mexico or Gulf of America? Well, that depends on who you ask. Disagreement on the name of the body of water does not just occur among political enemies, there's also a difference of opinion across map services. Google Maps and Apple Maps now show "Gulf of America." Bing Maps will soon join them in showing the new name for the body of water, though only for users in the United States.
Debate over the name of the body of water kicked off when President Donald Trump announced plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. At the time, the President also discussed renaming Mount Denali, annexing Canada, wanting Greenland to become part of the United States, and the United States reclaiming the Panama Canal. But I'll focus on the first here, since map debates are oh so invigorating.
