Google declines U.S. president's request
Former U.S. President Donald Trump proposed renaming some geographical locations, such as the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Mexico, with his personal names, like "Trump Ocean" and "America Gulf." He discussed these initiatives during election rallies and through official statements, explaining that his efforts aimed to showcase national identity and achieve symbolic or economic gains by renaming these places. Although changes, such as renaming certain locations on services like Google Maps, have occurred privately within the United States, altering names on an international level remains a difficult task due to their widespread recognition and adherence to international conventions. Trump also discussed the use of his executive powers to instruct federal agencies to use the proposed names, but such measures do not obligate other countries nor alter the international recognition of these names.
