After Donald Trump’s executive order demanding the name change, Google is the first major online maps provider to flip the switch.
Trump's executive order has Google making changes to the map once again.
Google has updated its Maps application, labeling Lake Ontario as “Lake America” for users in the United States, following an executive order signed by President Trump last week amid an escalating trade war with Canada. The decision of the tech giant reflects what it did when Mr. Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America last year.
