Axios will obey President Donald Trump’s order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” the publication said in a statement Friday.

“Our top priority at Axios is to provide readers with clinical, fact-based reporting,” Axios said in a statement. “Our standard is to use ‘Gulf of America (renamed by U.S. from Gulf of Mexico)’ in our reporting because our audience is mostly U.S.-based compared to other publishers with international audiences.”

After taking office last month, Trump signed an executive order changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”

“The Gulf of America ― what a beautiful name,” Trump said during a news conference in early January. “And it’s appropriate. We do most of the work there. It’s ours.”

Following the order, the Federal Aviation Administration announced it would be changing the name to “Gulf of America” in all future charts and maps. And tech giants Google and Apple also announced they would change the name.

The Associated Press has been barred from White House access after the publication made clear it would not adhere to the name change.

“It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism,” Julie Pace, the executive editor of AP, said in a statement earlier this week. “Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP’s speech not only severely impedes the public’s access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment.”

In its statement, Axios defended the AP’s decision.

“At the same time, the government should never dictate how any news organization makes editorial decisions,” the statement said. “The AP and all news organizations should be free to report as they see fit. This is a bedrock of a free press and durable democracy.”

HuffPost will continue to refer to the region as the Gulf of Mexico, a name that has been in place for hundreds of years.
