Trump's Name Change for Lake Ontario Sparks Controversy on Google Maps

Google Maps has renamed Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' in response to an executive order signed by Donald Trump. The change is specific to users in the U.S., while Canadian users will still see the original name.

The update follows a long-standing policy for bodies of water with names that vary from country to country, according to Google. However, the decision has been met with criticism from key U.S. politicians.

Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul declared that 'New York won't be calling it by the updated name,' while Republican Governor Phil Scott of Vermont expressed his disappointment and concern over the escalating tensions between the two countries.
