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.

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?
cotlovan@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Inside Mexico they should name it whatever the Mexico calls it. Outside Mexico it should be called however it is called in the respective country.
But again, Google is based in the US, all their decisions are made there.
