The American Geographical Names Council named the Gulf on Monday to the Gulf between the southern coast of the United States and the eastern coast of Mexico, after US President Donald Trump ordered the geographical region to change.
According to the decree, the name change applies to the area on the maritime border of Mexico and Cuba.
“For us, it remains to be the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Gulf of the whole world is still.”
