Summary
Trump signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports—excluding Canadian energy at 10%—plus additional duties on Chinese products.
In response, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 25% duty on $155 billion in U.S. goods, beginning with $30 billion in tariffs Tuesday.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated reciprocal tariffs, rejecting claims that Mexico tolerates criminal groups trafficking fentanyl and insisting on respect for sovereignty.
Experts warn these tit-for-tat measures could drive up costs, disrupt supply chains, and mirror the previous U.S.-China trade war, possibly harming security.
Can he also tell Google to NOT show both “names” for Gulf of Mexico in his country? This could spark a wave of international boycott of Trump’s petty bullshit. Yes, it’s a minor thing but could hurt Trump’s ego more than the whole economy thing.
I just checked on mine, it says “Gulf of Mexico”. Perhaps it depends where a user is located?
Idk when the change is implemented but Google said it would show
Nothing has changed for Czech users yet.
It annoys me so much. It hasn’t updated yet in Canada but “Gulf of America” is just wrong for any country outside of the US. Why show me Gulf of America when that’s not a recognised name for my own or any other country besides the USA.

It’s just wrong for USA too. There’s lots of reasons to rename things but jingoism is not a valid one
Nothing has changed for US users either. Not yet, anyway
according to Al Jazeera it’s just the USA?
