Summary

Google has reclassified the U.S. as a “sensitive country” following Trump’s announcement to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” and Mount Denali as Mount McKinley.

The designation, typically reserved for nations with border disputes or strict governments, reflects the growing challenges tech companies face under Trump’s second term.

Google Maps has prioritized updating these name changes, treating them similarly to disputed regions like the Persian Gulf.

The reclassification may impact how Google handles U.S. geographic labels moving forward.
