Trump claims Google CEO Pichai rejected bid to rename Atlantic Ocean

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

President Donald Trump reportedly attempted to have Google Maps rename the Atlantic Ocean to the "Trump Ocean," but Google CEO Sundar Pichai declined the request. Pichai cited the international nature of oceans and the potential for disputes with other countries as reasons for the refusal. Trump had previously succeeded in having geographic features like the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario renamed for U.S. federal use, though these changes faced international pushback and legal challenges.
