MapQuest is reporting it will not change the name of Lake Ontario after President Trump signed an executive order to rename the lake 'Lake America' amid ongoing trade tensions. The mapping company posted on social media showing a map still labeled 'Lake Ontario,' writing, 'We're not changing it.' In a follow-up post, MapQuest poked fun at the order, inviting users to generate their own joke names for the lake, offering the example 'Lake Are We Doing This Again?' The company's public pushback highlights growing friction over the administration's renaming initiatives, which critics have mocked as symbolic gestures amid broader trade disputes. No further details on the executive order's scope or enforcement have been confirmed.
