Google is set to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America', mirroring recent actions by the Trump administration. This move comes amidst a broader trend of renaming and rebranding initiatives spearheaded by the president.
Google has announced that it will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America once the change is officially reflected in the US Geographic Names System. This decision follows a trend of name change s initiated by the Trump administration, notably the renaming of Denali (formerly Mount McKinley) in Alaska.
Earlier this month, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum jokingly suggested renaming North America, including the US, as 'Mexican America,' a historic name appearing on early maps of the region. The Gulf of Mexico, a vital waterway for fishing, transport, oil, and gas production, bordered by the US Gulf Coast, Mexico's eastern states, and Cuba, has been subject to this renaming push. Florida was the first US state to adopt the 'Gulf of America' designation in a weather alert last week, followed by the US Coast Guard in an official press release. Google has consistently applied locale-based labeling conventions to disputed locations, such as listing the body of water bordering Japan and South Korea as the 'Sea of Japan (East Sea)' outside of those countries. This move aligns with Trump's broader agenda of rebranding the US and asserting national dominance.During his second term, Trump has implemented several measures that reflect this agenda. He declared a national emergency at the US-Mexico border, enabling the construction of a wall without Congressional approval. He signed a directive to end birthright citizenship, withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization (WHO), and placed restrictions on TikTok due to its Chinese parent company. Notably, Trump established the 'United States DOGE Service' by renaming the Digital Service, a 2014 Obama-era initiative. He also issued executive orders that grant White House employees top-secret clearance without traditional vetting, revoke security clearances from former intelligence officials critical of his administration, and restrict federal programs promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. Trump's actions have sparked controversy and are likely to continue shaping the political landscape in the coming years
