Apple may change ‘Lake Ontario’ to ‘Lake America’ soon after talk with Trump, U.S. Interior Secretary says

U.S. President Donald Trump has spoken to Apple about changing the name ​of “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America” and the company ‌may soon alter its maps, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said on Monday.
Trump announced on Thursday that he ​was changing the name of the smallest ​of the five Great Lakes, part of ⁠an escalating trade feud with Canada ​that has prompted the two countries to impose ​reciprocal tariffs on billions of dollars in goods.

“The president reached out to Apple directly, so I’m sure ​that we may be seeing that change ​coming up soon to Lake America,” Burgum said in an ‌interview ⁠on Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria” program.
