  I think Google and Apple should call it whatever the official names are, not to take any sort of political stance.

    Then why add “Gulf of America” in countries that do not recognize the name?

      In case you have forgotten, Google is an American company, every one of their decisions is taken in California. Maybe calling everything you don’t agree “fascist” isn’t a smart idea, since it shows that you have no idea what the meaning of that word is.

        That is not what I asked.

        OK, let’s reverse it, and say Mexico renamed the Gulf to something else. What do you think Google should do, inside Mexico and out?

    The official name is the Gulf of Mexico. It doesn’t become a different name just because Trump declares it. It isn’t up to him.
