Apple has updated its Maps application to relabel Lake Ontario as "Lake America" exclusively for users in the United States. The change follows an executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump mandating the new name for the Great Lake.
The relabeling by Apple comes just days after competitor Google implemented a similar change. This corporate compliance with the presidential order occurs amid an escalating trade war between the United States and Canada.
