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.
