特朗普签署行政命令要求将安大略湖改名为"美利坚湖"，苹果地图应用随后为美国用户显示了这一新名称，而其他国家的用户仍然看到原有名称1。谷歌地图也在周末做出了相同的更改1。这一举措被视为美国与加拿大贸易争端升级中的一部分，背景是美国对加拿大商品征收50%关税，并威胁对钢铁、卡车、汽车及零部件征收50%的新关税1。加拿大则对数百种美国商品实施了25%至50%的报复性关税1。
加拿大总理Mark Carney拒绝接受该更名，指出该湖的名称源自土著温达特人语言，其历史早于加拿大联邦制和美国独立宣言1。与此同时，地图应用MapQuest因拒绝更改湖名，其在苹果应用商店的排名跃升至第一1。
Apple Maps has updated its application to display Lake Ontario as "Lake America" for users in the United States, following an executive order issued by President Trump 1. Google Maps made an identical change over the weekend 1. The new name now appears exclusively to American users, while the lake retains its original designation for users in other countries 1.
The renaming comes amid escalating trade tensions between the United States and Canada. The Trump administration has imposed a 50 percent tariff on Canadian goods and threatened additional 50 percent tariffs on steel, trucks, automobiles, and auto parts 1. In response, Canada has implemented retaliatory tariffs of 25 to 50 percent on hundreds of American products 1.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has rejected the renaming, stating that the lake's name originates from the Indigenous Wendat language and predates both Canadian federation and the American Declaration of Independence 1. Not all mapping services have complied with the directive; MapQuest refused to alter the lake's name, and the application subsequently rose to the number one position in the Apple App Store 1.
