The renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America has been widely accepted across major platforms, despite continued resistance from Mexico’s government. The shift, initiated by an executive order from President Donald Trump, has been implemented on Google, Apple, and Bing maps, establishing the new name for U.S. waters.
President Claudia Sheinbaum has fiercely opposed the change, directing Mexico’s foreign affairs office to demand that Google reverse the update. After Google refused, Sheinbaum suggested legal action could be taken to challenge the company’s decision.
Trump’s executive order, signed on January 20, required U.S. agencies to recognize the new name. Following the order, major mapping services made updates to reflect the change, solidifying the Gulf of America as the official designation.
Zelensky: “The armed forces of Europe must be created.”
He says America might not always be there to help militarily.
Almost all European countries already have their own militaries.
There’s also already NATO.
And since when does he speak for Europe?pic.twitter.com/edYPaaZpLy

Despite the official shift, some institutions refuse to acknowledge the update. Encyclopedia Britannica and the Associated Press still use the outdated Gulf of Mexico name, despite the fact that mapping services and U.S. agencies have already recognized the change.
The grifting dictator has finally been cut adrift. Trump knows Zelenskyy is a corrupt puppet.
Pity the Australian parliament and media feted such a crook. https://t.co/zY9nSyLGq9

Vladimir Zelenskyy is claiming that Putin bombed Chernobyl last night. This is after Trump and Putin agreed on peace talks. For some reason I don't believe him, I wonder why?…
Let's go down memory lane…

Google has applied a regional approach, displaying the Gulf of Mexico name for users in Mexico while listing both names internationally. Apple and Bing have followed similar models, reinforcing the transition.

While Mexican officials continue to push back, the name Gulf of America has been widely adopted, signaling that the change is here to stay.
