Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) plans to introduce her Trump-inspired bill on renaming the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday. Chris Hayes and Lydia Polgreen break down how to process Donald Trump's threats of imperial conquest.
Google Maps users in the U.S. will soon see “Gulf of America” in place of “Gulf of Mexico” and “Mount McKinley” instead of “Denali” on the map, in line with President Donald Trump’s executive order issued last week. Google said in a series of posts on X on Monday that it is has a “longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.
Google Maps, which purports to have more than 2 billion users worldwide, has used different names — and even drawn different borders — for geographically disputed locations. On his first day back in office, Trump signed an executive order to “restore American greatness” by renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Denali, the highest peak in North America. President Barack Obama restored the mountain’s name to Denali in 2015 in a nod to Native Alaskans.
