Apple has begun renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in its Maps app. This change comes at the request of the administration of US President Donald Trump. This was reported by Bloomberg.
Google also started calling the Gulf of Mexico the American Gulf, but Apple went further. While Google has fully changed the name only for users in the United States, and everyone else in the world will see the double name, Apple will rename the Gulf to the American Gulf for everyone.
Republican lawmakers have already praised Google's decision to comply with Trump's order and were quick to criticize Apple for the delays. US House of Representatives member Greg Steube wrote on Facebook that Apple is "still lost at sea."
