Google Maps Renames Lake Ontario 'Lake America' Amid US-Canada Trade War

Google Maps has updated its application to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' for users in the United States, reflecting President Donald Trump's order that changed the lake's name. This move comes amid an escalating trade war with Canada, which has led both countries to impose billions of dollars in added tariffs on each other's goods.

The update echoes a similar change made by Google in 2025 when Trump issued an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.
