You might be hearing about the gulf off the coast of the U.S. and Mexico. Here's what to know about the body of water the size of Alaska.

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.

Google will rename the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska's Denali on its maps for users in the U.S. following President Trump's controversial executive order.

"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.

President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum says her country is reaching out to Google about its Maps change and is suggesting additional revisions of its own.

The change will only be visible to U.S. users. Those in Mexico will still see “Gulf of Mexico,” while those in the rest of the world will see both names on the map.

Google Maps will change the name of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System, Google said in an X post on Monday.

Doug Burgum, former governor of North Dakota, has been confirmed as the U.S. interior secretary with a Senate vote of 79 to 18. He is expected to prioritize maximizing energy and mineral production on public lands,

Sheinbaum argued that according to the United Nations Convention on the law of the sea, US sovereign territory only extends up to 12 nautical miles

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum shared a letter to Google, arguing that the tech giant should follow rules set by the U.N. that relate to naming bodies of water instead of following Donald Trump's executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Google Maps will soon rename the "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" and Denali to "Mount McKinley" in compliance with Trump's order.
