The company announced that Google follows President Donald Trump’s administrative action, and the operation renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Bay of the Bay. The company will soon announce that the name will appear on Google Maps.
Google explained in a post published on Tuesday X on Tuesday, January 28 that it has “the practice of changes names in official government resources for a long time.” When updating the geographical name information system (government database of government name and location data), the name will be adjusted.
Google will also change the name of Mountain McKinley from Denali. Former President Barack Obama renamed Alaska landmark Denali in 2015 to pay tribute to the indigenous population in the area.
Both changes originated from the administrative actions signed shortly after Trump last week, and said the change of “honor the United States”.
Administrative order said: “Promote the extraordinary heritage of our country and ensure that future generations of American citizens celebrate the heritage of our American heroes in line with national interests.”
The order criticized Obama’s decision to name McKinley the “life of President Mcing, his achievements and his offense of his sacrifice.” The order is similar to Trump, pointing out that McKinley “supports tariffs” and “was assassinated in the values of our country and our successful attacks.”
Trump “instructed it to officially change its name to the Bay.” Administrative orders require all federal government maps and documents to “reflect their renames.”
Google pointed out that only these two changes will be seen in users in the United States, because when the official name between the official name changes, map users will see their formal local name. Others in the world see two names in the world. . This is also applicable here. “
