Trump Renames Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' in Google Maps Amid Ongoing Trade Feud
Google Maps has been updated to show 'Lake America' in the United States, after US President Donald Trump announced that he had changed the name of the lake from Lake Ontario as part of an escalating trade feud with Canada.
The change is only viewable by Canadian users of the service and was made on August 30, 2026. This move comes as a response to ongoing tensions between the two countries, which have been escalating over various issues including trade policies.
