Google said today that it plans to update Google Maps to reflect President Trump’s January 20th executive order to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Denali to the Gulf of America and Mount McKinley,

The Trump administration officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Denali to Mount McKinley, with Google Maps now planning on adopting the changes for U.S. users.

Google Maps announced it will be following the US government's lead in changing the name of Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in the US.

Google said it would follow the Trump administration in renaming the Gulf of Mexico once the new name is updated in government sources.

Trump has previously promised to reinstate the 8,000 personnel who were discharged, with full backpay expected to be given. This move would follow his revoking of a mandate that federal workers must be vaccinated against Covid introduced by Joe Biden, one of a number of reversals of his predecessors policies.
