President Donald Trump has officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, as confirmed by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. This change is reflected on government databases and Google Maps, with proclamations marking February 9 as Gulf of America Day. While the new name is in use in the U.S., users in Mexico continue to see the original name. The U.S. Geological Survey is in the process of updating its resources to reflect this change, and reactions continue to surface regarding the implications of the renaming effort.
It's official! Congratulations @POTUS on the Gulf of America! @Interior has implemented your instruction from the Executive Order on Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness.
A search for the words 'Gulf of America' in the USGS map viewer Monday evening pointed to Alaska.
