Trump Pushes Apple to Rename Lake Ontario | Tulsa News

President Trump’s latest map name stunt—pushing Apple to rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America”—has reignited tensions with Canada amid ongoing trade disputes. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum confirms direct outreach to Apple, and the move follows a pattern: last year, Trump successfully pressured tech giants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America.” While U.S. users now see “Lake America” on Google and Apple maps, Canadians still see “Lake Ontario,” sparking backlash from Indigenous groups like the Seneca Nation, who cite a 225-year-old treaty. The U.S. can update its own records, but can’t force Canada to comply—leaving us with two names for one lake. This quirky geopolitical spat underscores how even map labels can become flashpoints in international relations. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
