Apple has become the latest company to adopt US President Donald Trump's new name for Lake Ontario — Lake America — on its Apple Maps platform.
The move came less than a week after Trump formally ordered the change in an executive order. Lake Ontario is one of North America's five Great Lakes, alongside Superior, Michigan, Huron and Erie.
The name change was driven largely by the collapse of trade talks between the US and Canada at the end of August, after the US imposed new 50% tariffs on around $20 billion (€17.3bn) worth of Canadian goods.
