Original Note:
The executive order changing the name of the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America" ordered the federal government to refer to the Gulf by a new name, but did not order anyone else to refer to it differently. Thus, the AP's use of "Gulf of Mexico" is not misinformation. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-names-that-honor-american-greatness/
