Oil producer Chevron uses term 'Gulf of America' after Trump renaming order
Jan 31, 2025 6:06 AM

HOUSTON, Jan 31 - U.S. oil producer Chevron ( CVX ) used

the term "Gulf of America" instead of Gulf of Mexico in its

fourth-quarter press release on Friday, a sign of corporate

America beginning to implement U.S. President Donald Trump's

order to rename the ocean basin.

The name change was part of a flurry of executive orders Trump

issued shortly after taking office this month. Google Maps will

change the name once it is officially updated in the U.S.

Geographic Names System, though it will only be visible in the

U.S., Google said on Monday.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday that Google

was wrong to change the name.

U.S. oil company Hess and UK-based Shell both

stuck with the name Gulf of Mexico in their fourth-quarter

earnings releases. Exxon Mobil ( XOM ) did not mention the gulf

in its results materials on Friday.
