Trump Requests Apple to Rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America'
- President Trump directly asked Apple to change Lake Ontario's name on its maps to 'Lake America'.
- The request aligns with a recent executive order aimed at U.S.-Canada trade relations.
- Google Maps has already implemented the name change for U.S. users, while Canadian users will still see 'Lake Ontario'.
- Critics argue the name change disrespects Indigenous heritage and violates historical treaties.
