The change will be visible only to US users Google Maps has announced plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico to ‘Gulf of America’ after Donald Trump ’s executive order in the White House. It was one of the Republican’s first calls as US president hours after being sworn in at the Capitol for a second time. ‘President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American civilization,’ it said.
He made the promise as part of his presidency campaign, tapping into US nationalism. ‘America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world,’ he said days before the inauguration. ‘A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.’ It was his latest suggestion to redraw the map of the Western Hemisphere.
