Trump’s Lake Ontario name change clashes with a centuries-old treaty. Google Maps is on the hook, too

President Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, a move linked to an ongoing trade conflict with Canada involving 50% tariffs. The Seneca Nation president asserts this action violates a 232-year-old treaty. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum confirmed Trump directly asked Apple to implement the name change. Meanwhile, social media users are criticizing mapping platforms like Google Maps for their role in adopting the new designation following the presidential directive.
