Apple has renamed Lake Ontario as Lake America on its maps service app, after an order from US President Donald Trump as part of Washington’s trade spat with Canada.<\/b><\/p>\n
The change was made for US-based users, while those in Canada will continue to see Lake Ontario displayed. The BBC has contacted Apple for comment.<\/p>\n
The iPhone maker’s move follows Trump’s executive order to change the lake’s name after trade talks between the neighbouring countries collapsed late last month, with Washington imposing new 50% tariffs on $20bn (\u00a314.8bn; C$28bn) worth of Canadian goods. <\/p>\n
Google made a similar switch for its users in the US in recent days, leading to backlash on social media.<\/p>\n
Canada has responded to Washington’s levies, saying it will implement “dollar for dollar” counter-tariffs.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office had walked away from the trade negotiations, due to what his office has called unacceptable demands.<\/p>\n
Carney has criticised Washington’s approach to negotiations, saying both sides can start having discussions once the US starts “being serious”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
