Google Maps Renames Lake Ontario to 'Lake America'

Google Maps has sparked controversy after renaming Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' in the United States, according to reports. The change was made following a request from President Donald Trump, who is known for his 'America First' policy.

The move has been met with criticism from Canadian officials, who argue that it's an attempt to exert US influence over a shared body of water. Google Maps clarified that the name change only applies to users in the United States and that people in Canada will still see the lake labeled as 'Lake Ontario', which is an indigenous-rooted name used since the 17th century.

The naming spat is part of a larger trade dispute between the US and Canada, with both countries imposing tariffs on each other's goods. The US has imposed a 50% tariff on Canadian steel, while Ottawa has retaliated with its own tariffs.
