I’m not sure what people expected. Apple maps renamed the gulf as well. Every commercial map service has to do it as it’s a regional law. Americans should be upset and their broken politics not Google.

This is, of course, stupid, but it doesn’t bother me too much because Google generally¹ basically respects official country names for things. So it’s not global, just for the US. So it’s stupid, but… the policy at least is not sucking off Trump, it’s a general policy¹. *¹ to my knowledge, at least, and from what I can find. Willing to be told differently with sources.
