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.

The tech company said Monday it has a “longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.”

Chevron Corp. has begun using “Gulf of America” instead of “Gulf of Mexico” in its earnings materials after President Donald Trump ordered the US to rename it.

President Donald Trump found time during his busy inauguration day to issue a dizzying number of executive orders and begin reshaping the federal government to fulfill his promises to supporters. One of those was changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico.

Among the first executive orders signed by President Donald Trump was an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the newly named "Gulf of America." "President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American civilization," the newly inaugurated president's executive order said.

President Donald Trump ordered the water body to be renamed the Gulf of America. He can, but the current name is all over the place.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to U.S. President Donald Trump's effort to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America — that he can call it whatever he likes as long as its his country's territory.

For us it is still the Gulf of Mexico, and for the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico,” President Claudia Sheinbaum said.

The executive order will direct the secretary of the interior to change the name to "Gulf of America” for use on official maps and throughout the federal government, according to the New York Post, which first reported the news. Trump has nominated Republican North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to the Department of Interior.

"As directed by the President, the Gulf of Mexico will now officially be known as the Gulf of America," the Interior Department stated in a statement last week. Google responded by noting that the change complies with its longstanding policy of aligning map labeling with updates in official government databases.
