グーグルマップ「オンタリオ湖」を「アメリカ湖」に変更(2026年8月31日)

Following President Trump's instruction to rename Lake Ontario, one of the Great Lakes, to "Lake of America," Google Maps has updated its labeling for use within the United States. On the 29th, the American IT giant Google announced that, following the official US geographical name system change, it would change the name of Lake Ontario, which straddles the US-Canada border, to "Lake of America" ​​on Google Maps for use within the US. In Canada, it will continue to be displayed as Lake Ontario, while in other regions, both names will be listed. Trade negotiations between the US and Canada have broken down, and the conflict continues, with the US imposing a 50% tariff on some Canadian imports, to which Canada has announced it will impose tariffs of up to 50% on US imports.
