[^1]\n\nA Reuters/Ipsos poll found that a majority of Americans oppose Trump's moves to raise taxes on imported Canadian goods and his order to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America.' [^2]\n\nApple confirmed that US users will see 'Lake America' on Apple Maps following the change to the lake's name in the US Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). [^3]\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and New York Governor Kathy Hochul said they would not change the name of Lake Ontario, which is more than 400 years old. [^4]\n\nApple Maps and Google Maps both follow official government names when updating their mapping systems. [^5]\n\nPresident Donald Trump issued an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' amid a trade war with Canada. [^6]\n\nApple implemented a dual-naming strategy where Canadian users will still see Lake Ontario, while users across the rest of the world will see both names. [^7]\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and New York Governor Kathy Hochul have both flatly rejected the decree, refusing to abandon a name that is more than 400 years old. [^8]\n\nGoogle Maps implemented a similar switch to display the body of water as Lake America days earlier after it was officially renamed in the US Geographic Names Information System. [^9]\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected the move, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveiled a large sign along the Canadian shore reading 'Lake Ontario. Now and Always' in English and French. [^10]\n\nThe executive order has no authority over Canadian territory or international hydrographic standards. [^11]\n\nThe renaming follows an executive order signed by Trump directing the US Department of the Interior to update federal maps and databases to refer to Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' within the US.
