Apple bends the knee and switches to 'Gulf of America' after Trump's order

^{Published on 2025-02-12 17:00:56 - MSN}

Apple bends the knee and switches to 'Gulf of America' after Trump's order - Google and Microsoft have also changed the gulf's name in their respective map apps

The article discusses Apple's decision to comply with an executive order issued by former President Donald Trump, which aimed to shift the naming convention of the body of water between the U.S. and Mexico from the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America." This change was part of Trump's broader initiative to rebrand geographical names to reflect American identity more prominently. Apple, known for its compliance with government regulations to maintain market access, updated its mapping services and related software to reflect this new terminology. The move has sparked discussions on the implications of political influence over geographical naming and the potential for such changes to affect international relations and local identities. Critics argue that this rebranding could lead to confusion and might be seen as an overreach of executive power, while supporters view it as a reaffirmation of American sovereignty and identity.
