US President Donald Trump has said that Google CEO Sundar Pichai turned down his request to rename the Atlantic Ocean the "American Ocean".

"I said, ‘Sundar, I’m thinking of the Atlantic Ocean. Can you handle it?’

“‘No, no, no, this time I’m not doing it,’ he said, ‘Oceans are different, sir. They cover a lot of - really a lot of countries. Please don’t ask us to do that.’”

The US president later said he would “probably pass” and keep the name Atlantic, before saying, “We’re going to call it the American Ocean”.
