The Gulf of Mexico has been officially renamed the “Gulf of America” for U.S.-based users of Google Maps, following an executive order by President Donald Trump.

In a statement Monday, Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., confirmed it was implementing the change in accordance with the order.

“Users in the U.S. will see ‘Gulf of America,’ while those in Mexico will continue to see ‘Gulf of Mexico.’ Everyone else will see both names,” the company stated.

Google cited its longstanding policy of updating place names when they are modified in official government sources. Trump issued the renaming order on January 20 and later proclaimed February 9 as “Gulf of America Day.”

The tech giant’s swift compliance marks another instance of apparent alignment with the Trump administration. Google was among several Silicon Valley firms that donated $1 million to Trump’s 2025 inauguration committee.

Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai attended the inauguration alongside high-profile tech leaders, including Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. During Trump’s transition period, Pichai was also among several executives who visited the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Since then, Google has made policy shifts that align with Trump’s directives. Earlier this month, the company abandoned its diversity hiring goals, citing the administration’s crackdown on DEI initiatives. In an internal memo, Google indicated it was reviewing other diversity programs that could pose risks to its status as a federal contractor, in light of Trump’s stance and a 2023 Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action.

Additionally, Google recently dropped a pledge to prohibit its artificial intelligence technology from being used for weapons or surveillance. The move came just weeks after Trump revoked an executive order by his predecessor, Joe Biden, that had mandated AI safety regulations.
