Apple begins replacing Lake Ontario with ‘Lake America’ on maps app for U.S. users
Apple is altering its Maps application to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America" for U.S. users following President Donald Trump's order to change the name of the Great Lake. This comes after tensions between the United States and Canada intensified due to a halt in trade negotiations. U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum confirmed that Trump personally contacted Apple to ensure the new name would be adopted on the company's service.
Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada stated that Canadians are aware Lake Ontario will retain its original name, "Lake Ontario," for all time.
