President Donald Trump has continued his push to rename major bodies of water to include the word "America." During a rally in South Carolina, he revealed that he called Google CEO Sundar Pichai to request the renaming of the Atlantic Ocean. Trump referenced Google Maps' previous relabeling of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America," praising the tech giant for their work on the lake, as he put it.
The president's latest remarks come as part of his ongoing efforts to assert American influence through geographic renaming. His comments were met with a mix of amusement and criticism from attendees and observers alike. The request to Google highlights Trump's unconventional approach to policy and public relations, often leveraging private corporations for significant changes.
