Google and Apple Bow to Trump and Change the Name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General2 September 2026 at 10:09

Google and Apple found themselves involved in Donald Trump's propaganda. The two companies changed the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" on their platforms.

On August 27, the president of the United States signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America".

Lake Ontario is a lake that separates the United States from Canada.

This name change responds to the open trade war against Canada, a neighboring country of the United States.
