Google Maps now directs people to the “Gulf of America” after Trump ordered the change. GoogleThe Alaskan mountain is the highest point in the US.
Trump’s executive order directed the interior secretary to institute the new names within 30 days and update the federal Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
The system is a database maintained by the US Geological Survey (USGS). A Google spokeswoman said their renaming would follow after the GNIS update was complete.
The Alaskan mountain was named for William McKinley in 1896, the year before he became president.
McKinley was assassinated in 1901.
The name stood more than a century until former President Obama ordered a change in 2015 after pressure from indigenous tribes in the area.
