Apple Maps Renames Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America Following Trump's Executive Order

In accordance with a directive from President Trump, Apple Maps has followed Google Maps in renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. This update reflects a broader push by the administration to reinforce American identity through renaming geographical landmarks. The executive order specifically mandates the Secretary of the Interior to implement name restorations, including the controversial change of Mount McKinley back to its original name.

The move comes from Trump's earlier statements emphasizing a need to replace names perceived to reflect foreign or politically motivated influences. While supporters of the change see it as a reaffirmation of national sovereignty, critics warn that it may lead to diplomatic complications. In parallel, the executive order also emphasizes recognizing Alaskan heritage, suggesting further potential name changes to honor local indigenous cultures. As the update on Apple Maps goes live, discussions around the implications of these name changes continue to unfold.
