NEW YORK, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- Chevron Corp., the U.S. multinational energy corporation predominantly specializing in oil and gas, has begun using "Gulf of America" instead of "Gulf of Mexico" in its earnings materials after President Donald Trump ordered the United States to rename it.

Trump called for the name change on his first day in office last week, saying it was part of his push to make the United States "the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth." The U.S. Interior Department formally announced the name change on Jan. 24.

"That's the official position of the U.S. government," Bloomberg News on Friday quoted Chief Executive Officer Mike Wirth as saying. "If Google Maps is using it, then Chevron is using it."

Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, said it would make the change on Google Maps once it's entered into the United States Geological Survey's database. Enditem
