You might be hearing about the gulf off the coast of the U.S. and Mexico. Here's what to know about the body of water the size of Alaska.

When Google announced it was complying with US President Donald Trump’s executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, many Mexicans responded with a laugh and a long, exhausted sigh.

Following President Trump’s order renaming the Gulf of Mexico, at least in the United States, Mexicans and Cubans expressed annoyance, defiance, confusion and even amusement.

Google says it will take its cue from the U.S. government if it has to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Denali on its Maps service.

The change will only be visible to U.S. users. Those in Mexico will still see “Gulf of Mexico,” while those in the rest of the world will see both names on the map.

Google said it would follow the Trump administration in renaming the Gulf of Mexico once the new name is updated in government sources.

Google said it would rename the body of water to “Gulf of America” after it is updated in the U.S. government system in response to Trump’s executive order.

Google Maps will change the name of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System, Google said in an X post on Monday.

Google Maps will soon rename the "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" and Denali to "Mount McKinley" in compliance with Trump's order.

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum says Google made a mistake renaming the Gulf of Mexico on its Google Maps simply because U.S. President Donald Trump wanted it renamed "Gulf of America."

Mexico's president has asked Google not to use Donald Trump's new name for the Gulf of Mexico - which he pledged to change to Gulf of America in one of his first acts as president.
