It came after President Donald Trump's executive order on his first day in office calling for the change and the Department of the Interior's adoption of the new name last month.

Google's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico comes weeks after President Donald Trump issued an executive order to rename it to the Gulf of America.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says her government may take legal action against Google for using the name "Gulf of America" on maps, following a decree by President Trump.
