美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，谷歌首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊拒绝了他将大西洋重新命名为“特朗普洋”或“美洲洋”的提议。皮查伊告诉特朗普，与其他在现任政府任期内被重新命名的地理特征不同，海洋属于完全不同的类别。
US President Donald Trump has said that Google CEO Sundar Pichai turned down his idea of renaming the Atlantic Ocean after him or America, saying the company had told him that unlike other water bodies that had been renamed under the incumbent administration, oceans were an entirely different matter. Speaking at a campaign rally in the state of South Carolina on Wednesday, October 21, Trump recounted a conversation he had with Pichai about renaming one of the world's two largest water bodies after himself or the US."I'm not gonna put either Trump or America on any other ocean, but these two," Trump said, referring to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
10月21日星期三，特朗普在南卡罗来纳州的一场竞选集会上回忆了与皮查伊的谈话内容。他说：“我不会把‘特朗普’或‘美洲’这两个名字用在任何其他海洋上，只会用在大西洋和太平洋上。”
The two-time President then claimed he had approached Google about the idea, praising Pichai and Google co-founder Sergey Brin as "totally brilliant guys"."And I spoke to a brilliant guy, Sundar, he heads all of Google, he's a brilliant guy," Trump said.
这位前总统还称赞皮查伊和谷歌联合创始人谢尔盖·布林是“非常出色的人”，并表示自己曾向谷歌提出这个想法。他回忆道：“我问皮查伊是否可以由谷歌来负责重新命名大西洋，但他拒绝了。”
Recounting the conversation, Trump said he had asked Pichai whether Google could handle renaming the Atlantic Ocean, only to be met with a negative response." No, no, no, this time I'm not doing it," Trump recalled Pichai telling him. According to Trump, Pichai had explained that oceans were different from other geographical features because they extended across several countries."
特朗普解释说，海洋与其他地理特征不同，因为它们跨越多个国家；皮查伊认为这种做法不合适。他补充说：“皮查伊告诉我：‘不，这次我不会同意这个提议。’”目前，谷歌或皮查伊方面尚未对特朗普的陈述发表任何官方回应。特朗普的海洋更名构想尽管特朗普赞扬了皮查伊，但他最近曾对这位谷歌首席执行官发表过不利言论。
He said, he said, oceans are different, sir. You know, they cover, they cover a lot of countries," Trump said, adding that Google had asked him not to pursue the idea. Trump then appeared to abandon the proposal, asking the audience, "Should I pass it? I think let's keep it the Atlantic Ocean, right?" There was no immediate independent confirmation of Trump's account from Google or Pichai. TRUMP'S OCEAN-RENAMING IDEAThough Trump praised Pichai, he had recently spoken unfavourably about him.
9月29日，在白宫与科技高管举行会议讨论人工智能安全后，特朗普称谷歌CEO为“怪物”，显然是指他在科技行业拥有巨大影响力，同时开玩笑说很少有人认识他。
On September 29, after a White House meeting with tech executives to discuss AI safety, Trump called the Google CEO a "monster", apparently referring to his enormous influence in the technology industry, while joking that few people knew him.
据《华盛顿邮报》10月10日报道，80岁的唐纳德·特朗普本月早些时候首次提出了将大西洋或太平洋更名的可能性，建议的名字包括“特朗普海”或“美洲海”。
The 80-year-old Donald Trump had first floated the possibility of renaming either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean earlier this month, suggesting names such as "Trump Ocean" or Ocean of the Americas", according to an October 10 report by The Washington Post.
这位美国总统随后表示，国家需要一个以其命名的海洋，并暗示希望在离任前实现这一更改。他还开玩笑说要以自己的名字命名一片海洋。
The US President had then said that the country needed an ocean named after it and suggested he wanted to make the change before leaving office. He also joked about naming an ocean after himself.
这一提议是继特朗普早先重新命名地理特征的努力之后提出的。2025年，他推动将墨西哥湾更名为美洲湾，这一决定引发了与墨西哥的外交紧张关系，并因美联社在报道中使用的术语而与该通讯社产生争议。
The proposal follows Trump's earlier efforts to rename geographical features. In 2025, he moved to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, a decision that triggered diplomatic tensions with Mexico and a dispute with the Associated Press over the terminology used in its coverage.
2026年8月，特朗普还将位于美国和加拿大之间的安大略湖更名为美国湖，此举发生在美加领导人因贸易和关税问题紧张关系升级之际。
In August 2026, Trump also renamed Lake Ontario, which lies between the United States and Canada, as Lake America amid tensions with Canadian leaders over trade and tariffs.
