Google Maps reclassifies the United States as a "sensitive country" after changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico has protested Google’s decision to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico as Trump has unilaterally decreed.

Google will rename the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska's Denali on its maps for users in the U.S. following President Trump's controversial executive order.

Google Maps will change the name of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System, Google said in an X post on Monday.

Google said the name changes, which also includes using Mount McKinley, will happen when Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated.

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

Google said it would rename the body of water to “Gulf of America” after it is updated in the U.S. government system in response to Trump’s executive order.

Though U.S. maps will reflect Trump's new name for the body of water, the rest of the world will continue calling it the Gulf of Mexico

The company said that Maps will reflect any updates to the Geographic Names Information System, a database of more than 1 million geographic features in the United States.

"As directed by the President, the Gulf of Mexico will now officially be known as the Gulf of America," the Interior Department stated in a statement last week. Google responded by noting that the change complies with its longstanding policy of aligning map labeling with updates in official government databases.

The Gulf of Mexico is now officially the Gulf of America in the U.S. It is far from the first time a landform or town has changed names.
