Google Renames Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' in US Maps

Google has updated its maps application to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' for users in the United States. The move comes after a recent order by President Donald Trump, who sought to change the name amid an escalating trade war with Canada.

According to Google, the decision was based on its practice of using the name assigned by the U.S. Geographic Names Information System.

The White House and the office of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney did not immediately comment on Google's decision.
