Google added that the name Gulf of Mexico will remain displayed for users in Mexico. Users in other countries will see both names, the company said.

Yeah. “Both Names” for other countries is a bit lame but better than just Gulf of America everywhere.

The Denali / McKinley thing is pretty awful though. I hadn’t realised Trump had changed that too.
