    Even in the UK they have put Gulf of America.

    The UK Government doesn’t recognize that name and have officially stated they wont (at least in the short term)

          Trump signed an executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Executive orders aren’t laws, they’re just memos stating what the federal government will do. Google decided to bend the knee for the new king.

          • Google Maps officially implements Gulf of America name change, but only in the US

          For U.S. Google Map users only, the body of water formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico will now appear as the Gulf of America when using the navigational service.

          The change comes just several weeks after President Donald Trump signed an executive order for the gulf to be renamed and on Sunday declared February 9 was officially Gulf of America Day.

          Following the order, Google stated that it has a longstanding practice of implementing name changes when done by official government sources.
