On August 30, local time, U.S. President Trump posted a map on social media showing that it is located in…Lake Ontario on the U.S.-Canada border is labeled as “American Lake.”

In a statement, Google said that Google Maps has changed the lake’s name to “Lake of the United States” to “reflect President Trump’s recent executive order calling for the renaming of the lake.”

Lake Ontario is one of the five Great Lakes of North America, located on the border between the United States and Canada. The lake region is bordered by Ontario, Canada, to the north and New York State to the south. On August 27, Trump signed an executive order declaring that Lake Ontario, located on the U.S.-Canada border, would be immediately renamed “Lake America.” This incident occurred after U.S.-Canada trade negotiations collapsed and relations between the two countries continued to deteriorate.

This move has sparked discontent and criticism from the Canadian side. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau wrote on X: “We know that the United States is changing. Canadians also understand that facing reality means calling this lake Lake Ontario—past, present, and future—without ever changing.”

according to reports，The U.S. President’s executive order has affected the United States Geographic Names Information System (USGS), which sets the standards for official U.S. maps, but it has no impact on Canada’s naming conventions or how the lake is referred to in other parts of the world.

Last year, Google Maps made a similar adjustment for the Gulf of Mexico: after President Trump signed an executive order renaming the region the “Gulf of the United States,” Google Maps labeled it as the “Gulf of the United States.”
