Trump Orders Gulf of Mexico Renamed 'Gulf of America'

The executive order directs federal agencies to adopt the new name, but international and private usage remains unchanged.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America' on federal maps and documents within 30 days.
The name change applies only to U.S. federal agencies and does not mandate state governments, private companies, or international bodies to adopt the new term.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected the change, stating that for Mexico and the world, the body of water remains the Gulf of Mexico.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has already referred to the body of water as the 'Gulf of America' in a state emergency order, signaling early state-level adoption.
The renaming has sparked discussions on the geopolitical implications of place names, but major map providers like Google and Apple have not yet updated their labels.
