Lake Ontario renamed to Lake of America on US Google Maps

SAPO31 August 2026 at 07:14

Lake Ontario has been renamed Lake of America on Google Maps for US users. This change was implemented by the tech giant following a decision made by former President Donald Trump.

The White House publicly congratulated the renaming of this body of water that is a border area between the United States and Canada. Lake Ontario is one of the Great Lakes of North America and borders the American state of New York and the Canadian province of Ontario.

Trump's decision to unilaterally alter the name of this border region generated international reactions, as Canada was not consulted about this change. The renaming on Google Maps reflects the attempt to implement this change in digital cartography for users in the United States.

Ocasio-Cortez's "empowered choice": reproductive autonomy in the crossfire of the MAGA movement

American congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted daily videos on Instagram (with ten million followers) of herself self-injecting hormones, framing this decision as an "empowered choice" for reproductive autonomy. Hélder Gomes and Mara Tribuna analyze this post in the context of the MAGA movement, which has sought to restrict reproductive rights in the US. The discussion extends to the geopolitical implications of birth rates and the power women hold over their fertility decisions, at a time when reproduction has become a political battleground in the United States.

Sánchez exonerates Morocco from the Ceuta crisis and insists on "hoaxes" on social networks "associated with Russia and Israel"

One month after the massive entry of migrants in Ceuta, the president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, exonerated Morocco from any responsibility for the crisis, stating there is no "information" from the security forces, the CNI or intelligence services of other countries that suggests participation by the Moroccan authorities. During an interview on Cadena Ser, Sánchez defended that there was "instant and immediate" coordination with Morocco, whose police deployment at the border was essential to contain the migratory flow. In addition, the president insisted that the crisis was amplified by "hoaxes" (fake news) on social networks, which he associated with accounts linked to Russia and Israel.
