Google chief executive Sundar Pichai has rejected United States President Donald Trump’s proposal to rename the Atlantic Ocean as the American Ocean in its system.
The head of the White House said that he had telephoned the head of Google, proposing to change the name of the Atlantic Ocean. In response, Pichai called on the president not to approach Google with such requests.
The company’s chief executive stressed that numerous countries are located on the shores of the oceans.
Trump in turn said that, in all likelihood, he would abandon attempts to change the name of the Atlantic Ocean. Nevertheless, he continues to consider the renaming of the Pacific Ocean likely.
On October 11 the president of the United States of America had stated his wish to rename one of the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. According to the head of the White House, he wished to name one of those waters “Trump Ocean” or “American Ocean.”
