The President of the United States, Donald Trump, is said to have asked the technology company Apple to change the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" on the company's maps. The request comes in the context of a broader discussion about the designation of bodies of water between the United States and Canada.
The proposed change involves a symbolic shift in Apple's digital cartography, which is widely used by millions of users worldwide. Lake Ontario is one of the Great Lakes of North America, shared between the United States and Canada.
So far, Apple has not issued any official statement about this request. It is unclear whether the company intends to comply with the President's request or how it will respond to this solicitation.
The controversy arises at a time of tension between the two countries, with Trump repeatedly suggesting that Canada should become the "51st state" of the United States.
