On Jan. 7, Trump announced that the Gulf of Mexico would be given a new name, and signed an executive order finalizing the decision weeks later.
"We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring. That covers a lot of territory," Trump said on Tuesday. "The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate."
The decision was received well by social media users on Monday, who began noticing Google Maps implementing the changes.
"Google Maps FINALLY recognizes the Gulf of America!" one X user wrote. "Isn't it beautiful?"
"I hate google, but tbh, mine says Gulf of America zoomed all the way out," another said. "And boy is it glorious."

"We’ve received a few questions about naming within Google Maps," Google said in an X post. "We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources…everyone in the rest of the world sees both names. That applies here too."
