President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order demanding the body of water that runs along the United State’s Southeast Coast be renamed to the Gulf of America.
Among the first executive orders signed by President Donald Trump was an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the newly named "Gulf of America." "President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American civilization," the newly inaugurated president's executive order said.
The Gulf of Mexico will be renamed to the Gulf of America on Google Maps, the company announced on Monday, following updates from official government sources
The state of Alaska requested the name change in 1975, but the Board on Geographic Names didn’t take action. Members of the Ohio congressional delegation – President William McKinley was from Ohio – objected over many years to requests to rename the mountain, and the board did not act on those requests.
In a statement explaining its decision, the AP said Trump has the authority to change the mountain’s name, but the gulf is a global name
Looking at a 17th-century map of North and South America, she added: "Obviously the Gulf of Mexico is recognized by the United Nations … but why don't we call this 'Mexican America'?"
The news broke shortly before he was sworn in Monday morning, and Trump confirmed it during his inaugural address. The order will rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and Mount Denali to Mount McKinley, which was the official name recognized by the federal government from 1917 until 2015.
Google said it would follow the Trump administration in renaming the Gulf of Mexico once the new name is updated in government sources.
