Apple has joined Google in renaming the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” on its mapping application for United States users, complying with President Donald Trump’s executive order. The change has sparked diplomatic concerns in Mexico, with President Claudia Sheinbaum stating the government will object to the alteration. Meanwhile, The Associated Press reported that its White House reporter was barred from an event with Trump due to the news agency’s refusal to use the new name.
In this photo illustration, an updated Google map shows the Gulf of America on February 10, 2025 in San Anselmo, California. Google has renamed the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” on Google Maps for United States users after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office to change the name.
Apple has followed suit, renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” for US users of its mapping application to comply with the executive order by President Donald Trump. People using the Apple Maps application from the United States will find the body of water is now called the “Gulf of America.” \Apple’s decision comes after Google on Monday changed the name to “Gulf of America” for those using its Maps platform inside the United States.“People using Maps in the U.S. will see ‘Gulf of America,‘ and people in Mexico will see ‘Gulf of Mexico.’ Everyone else will see both names,“ Google wrote. Trump signed executive orders changing the names of Denali, a mountain in Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico soon after his January 20 swearing in as president. The term “Gulf of America” was soon used by the US Coast Guard in a press release on enforcing Trump’s new crackdown on migrants, as well as Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, when discussing a winter storm. \The move raised diplomatic concerns in Mexico, and President Claudia Sheinbaum said the government would write to Google and object to the name change. The Associated Press said Tuesday that its White House reporter was barred from an event with Trump over the top US news agency’s refusal to use “Gulf of America”. Trump’s order to change Denali to Mount McKinley reverses then-president Barack Obama’s 2015 decision to officially recognize Denali, the name used by Alaska Natives for centuries for North America’s highest peak
