President Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America on August 31, 2026. This move comes amid trade tensions between the US and Canada.

The decision directs the Interior Department to rename the lake, which has been a contentious issue for years. According to President Trump's executive order, the new name recognizes the lake's importance to the nation's economy and people.

Google Maps has already started displaying the new name for US users, while Canadian users continue to see Lake Ontario. The company stated that this update aligns with its long-standing policy for bodies of water with country-specific names.
