Trump says Google's CEO rejected his plan to change the Atlantic's name to the 'Trump Ocean'

High-priority alert based on source significance and keyword relevance.

What happened: Trump said at a South Carolina rally that he asked Google CEO Sundar Pichai about renaming the Atlantic Ocean the "Trump Ocean," and that Pichai declined. Trump said he would keep the Atlantic name. Why it matters: Google Maps had already changed its US labels to Gulf of America and Lake America after Trump's executive orders, while users elsewhere see the original names, a split that mapmakers say creates a dilemma for international audiences.
