Google Maps has faced backlash after changing the name of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' in response to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump. The move comes months after Google changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America'.

The change was met with criticism from users, who pointed out the error on X.

'Hey you gave one of the Great Lakes the wrong name; pretty embarrassing mistake so you might want to fix that,' wrote a user.

The decision has sparked debate about Google's willingness to cave in to Trump's demands, particularly during his trade war with Canada.
