Lake Ontario has been renamed Lake of America on Google Maps for users in the United States, following a unilateral decision by Donald Trump to rename this border area between the US and Canada. The digital mapping platform implemented the name change for North American users.
The White House publicly congratulated this renaming, demonstrating support for the decision made by the former American president. The change comes in the context of diplomatic tensions between the US and Canada during Trump's term.
Lake Ontario is one of the Great Lakes of North America, located on the border between the two countries. This name change represents an attempt to redefine border symbols, although it is unclear whether it will have a practical impact on bilateral relations or official cartography.
