I had this interpretation while reading the EO, but it seems that the “Gulf of America” name only applies to the area inside U.S. 🇺🇸 EEZ + continental shelf and not the whole gulf. This is the same interpretation that @maproomblog states here: https://www.maproomblog.com/2025/01/naming-the-gulf/

This is analogous to the “West Philippine Sea“ name that the #Philippines 🇵🇭 uses to refer to its vicinity within the South China Sea and not to the whole sea.
