The little-known panel Trump has thrown in the spotlight - President Donald Trump is on a mission to celebrate American greatness

Google Maps announced it will soon make changes reflecting President Donald Trump 's decision to rename the Gulf of America and Mount McKinley. The recently renamed topographical features will be reflected once the Department of the Interior updates the Geographic Names Information System,

“Denali” is the mountain’s preferred name for Alaska Natives. Former President Barack Obama ordered it changed in 2015 from its previous name “McKinley,” which was a tribute to President William McKinley, designated in the late 19th century by a gold prospector.

The tech giant revealed the reasons behind the proposed changes on social media after receiving questions from users.

Google said Monday its maps will use names for Denali and the Gulf of Mexico favored by President Donald Trump — Mount McKinley and Gulf of America — when federal maps make the switch.

The state of Alaska requested the name change in 1975, but the Board on Geographic Names didn’t take action. Members of the Ohio congressional delegation – President William McKinley was from Ohio – objected over many years to requests to rename the mountain, and the board did not act on those requests.

Sheinbaum made the case that Google should not bend to “the mandate of a country” attempting to change the name of an international sea. “For us it is still the Gulf of Mexico, and for the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico,” she said.

Google Maps will soon rename the "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" and Denali to "Mount McKinley" in compliance with Trump's order.
