Apple and Google Comply with Donald Trump's Request and Change Lake Ontario to Lake America

Apple and Google altered the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" on their digital maps, at the request of President Donald Trump, but only for users in the United States, while users in Canada continue to see the original name. The change was made following an executive order signed by Trump on August 27, which came in the context of the trade dispute between the United States and Canada, which led to the imposition of mutual high tariffs. The executive order argues that the United States is the main protector of the Great Lakes, investing nearly four billion dollars in the last decade in protecting the ecosystem. Google Maps confirmed that it will follow the practice of using names from the United States Geographic Names Information System, while other services such as MapQuest refused to make the change. Apple and Google had previously also changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.
