These companies join Google Maps and adopt the name Gulf of America

Just a few days after Google Maps officially revealed the name change from the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, for all United States, two of the most important computer companies worldwide announced their alignment with the same measure: Apple and Microsoft. 

These two companies have implemented this change following the executive order signed by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who on January 21 issued the decree to change the name of this body of water shared by the North American country, Mexico, and Cuba. 

Prior to this measure, and during his campaign for the presidency of the United States, the Republican publicly stated his intention to change the name of said gulf with the aim of "highlighting American pride." 

Apple and Microsoft adopt the name Gulf of America 

In the case of Apple, the company based in Cupertino, California, publicly announced the "adoption" of this name through an update on all its devices such as iPhones, iPads, Macs, among others. 

Regarding Microsoft, the company also implemented this title through the maps included in its devices 

It should be noted that the changes implemented by both technology companies are limited solely to U.S. territory, so in the rest of the world, both titles can be read: Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of America. 

Donald Trump Implements Gulf of America Day 

Prior to the recent change by Apple and Microsoft, President Donald Trump announced, through a ceremonial act, the Gulf of America Day, on February 9, highlighting the importance of this "decision for the American people." 

Today I am making my first visit to the Gulf of America since its name was changed. As my administration restores American pride in American greatness, it is appropriate that our great Nation come together and commemorate this momentous occasion."

The actions of Trump have logically generated all kinds of reactions among the American population as well as other leaders like the President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum." 

Since the signing of Trump's executive order last January, Sheinbaum expressed her discontent with this decision, arguing the historicity of the name Gulf of Mexico for this body of water.

She even mentioned that she sent a letter to Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, with the intention of correcting the area's designation due to the confusion and diplomatic tension it could cause. So far, the company has not issued any kind of response to the request from the President of Mexico.
