Trump says Google rejected his request to rename Atlantic Ocean after himself or America

I’m not going to put either Trump or America on any other ocean but these two,” Trump told supporters.However, the president claimed Pichai refused his latest request because oceans extend across multiple countries.Trump quoted the Google executive as saying: “Oceans are different, sir.

They cover … a lot of countries.

Please don’t ask us to do that.”Following the alleged rejection, Trump appeared to abandon the idea: “I think let’s keep it the Atlantic Ocean.”Google has not publicly confirmed Trump's account of the conversation.The company previously updated Google Maps to display “Gulf of America” and “Lake America” for American users following Trump's executive orders.However, users in Mexico and Canada continue to see the original geographical names.
