Lake Ontario now called Lake America on Google Maps for US users after Trump ordered name change

The briefing

Google updated its maps application to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America" for United States users, following an executive order by President Donald Trump. The change mirrors previous renaming actions and coincides with escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada. Canadian officials and the public responded with indifference and public pushback, while Google noted the update aligns with its policy on variable international geographic names.
