Trump Says Google CEO Rejected Proposal to Rename Atlantic Ocean 'Trump Ocean'
US President Donald Trump claimed he proposed renaming the Atlantic Ocean to 'Trump Ocean' on Google Maps but was declined by Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who cited the ocean's international nature spanning multiple countries. Trump recounted this exchange at a South Carolina rally, also suggesting renaming the Pacific Ocean as the 'American Ocean' and the Strait of Hormuz as the 'Trump Strait.' Google and Pichai have not independently confirmed these claims. Trump praised Google's leadership while indicating he would likely drop the renaming idea for the Atlantic Ocean.
