Google Maps Reflects Trump's Renaming of Lake Ontario

A recent executive order signed by Donald Trump has led to changes in Google Maps' labeling of Lake Ontario. The lake, located on the border between the US and Canada, will now be referred to as 'Lake America' for users outside North America.

The change follows a trade war between the two countries, with Trump imposing a 50% tax on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods after trade talks broke down. In response, Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs on American goods.

Trump's order directed the Interior Department to rename Lake Ontario in the US' Geographic Names Information System. The change has been implemented by Google, which updates its Maps to reflect name changes in official government sources.
