The little-known panel Trump has thrown in the spotlight - President Donald Trump is on a mission to celebrate American greatness
Google Maps will soon rename the "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" and Denali to "Mount McKinley" in compliance with Trump's order.
Google faced blowback on social media Monday after it announced it would comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order on its Google Maps service, renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” and reverting to referring to Alaska’s Denali as Mount McKinley.
Google says it will take its cue from the U.S. government if it has to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Denali on its maps.

President Donald Trump wants to rename Denali and the Gulf of Mexico to Mount McKinley and Gulf of America, and Google said it would update its maps if it happens.
Google on Monday said its maps will use names for Denali and the Gulf of Mexico favored by President Donald Trump — Mount McKinley and Gulf of America — when federal maps make the switch.
Google says it will update the names of Denali and the Gulf of Mexico in Google Maps to reflect the executive order by President Donald Trump on inauguration day to change them to Mount McKinley and the Gulf of America.
Sheinbaum made the case that Google should not bend to “the mandate of a country” attempting to change the name of an international sea. “For us it is still the Gulf of Mexico, and for the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico,” she said.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum shared a letter to Google, arguing that the tech giant should follow rules set by the U.N. that relate to naming bodies of water instead of following Donald Trump's executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum says her country is reaching out to Google about its Maps change and is suggesting additional revisions of its own.
