Trump ‘directly’ pushing Apple to update Lake Ontario name to Lake America in Maps
President Trump has “reached out to Apple directly” about changing Lake Ontario’s name to Lake America in Apple Maps, according to U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.
Trump announced on Thursday that he was changing the name of the smallest of the five Great Lakes, part of an escalating trade feud with Canada that has prompted the two countries to impose reciprocal tariffs on billions of dollars in goods.
“The president reached out to Apple directly, so I’m sure that we may be seeing that change coming up soon to Lake America,” Burgum said in an interview on Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria” program.
Google Maps already changed the label for U.S. users following the president’s executive order last week. Apple updated Maps to relabel the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America after a similar executive order.
