US President Donald Trump has asked tech firm Apple to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America on its Maps platform to comply with his executive order changing the name of the Great Lake, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has said.
Burgum told Fox News on Monday that “the president has reached out to Apple directly”, adding: “I’m sure we may be seeing that change coming up soon.”
Google made the switch for its US-based users over the weekend, though users in Canada still see the lake, which borders the province of Ontario and the state of New York, as Lake Ontario.
