President Donald Trump has issued executive orders to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and to revert Denali back to its former name, Mount McKinley. Following these orders, Google announced that it will update Google Maps to reflect these changes for US users once they are officially updated in the US Geographic Names System. The platform will display the Gulf of America and Mount McKinley accordingly.
