Apple Maps waxay u beddeshay magaca Lake Ontario in 'Lake America' ka dib amarkii Trump
Shirkadda Apple waxay ku beddeshay magaca Lake Ontario ee ku yaalla gobolka New York iyo dalka Kanada in 'Lake America' loo yiraahdo, kadib amarkii madaxweynaha Maraykanka Donald Trump. Beddelkaas, Google Maps ayaa horey u sameysay beddelkaas, halka shirkadda MapQuest ay ku adkeysatay inay magacaas beddesho.
Amarkii Trump iyo beddelka magaca
Madaxweynaha Maraykanka Donald Trump wuxuu ku amray in magaca Lake Ontario la beddelo 'Lake America', isagoo sheegay inuu u baahan yahay inuu aqoonsado 'heshiisyada bulshada Maraykanka iyo taariikhda dalka'.
Waxaa la sheegay in Trump uu si toos ah ula xiriiray shirkadda Apple, isagoo sheegay inuu rabo in beddelkaas la sameeyo. Doug Burgum, wasiirka gudaha, wuxuu sheegay inuu rabo in beddelkaas la sameeyo.
Jawaabta Canada iyo MapQuest
Canada ayaa diiday inay beddesho magaca Lake Ontario, waxayna sheegtay in magacaas uu ka yimaado afka dadka Wendat, isagoo ka horreeya xilliga dalka Canada iyo Maraykanka. Mark Carney, madaxweynaha Canada, wuxuu diiday inuu beddelo magacaas.
Shirkadda MapQuest ayaa ku adkeysatay inay beddesho magacaas, waxayna ku biirday liiska ugu sarreeya barnaamijyada Apple, kadib markii ay ku baaqday inay beddeli karto magacaas.
Xaaladda ganacsiga iyo khilaafka
Khilaafka ganacsiga ee Maraykanka iyo Canada ayaa sii kordhay, waxayna Maraykanku ku bixisay 50% lacagta ganacsiga Canada, halka Canada ay ku bixisay 25-50% lacagta ganacsiga Maraykanka.
Trump wuxuu sheegay inuu u baahan yahay inuu aqoonsado 'heshiisyada bulshada Maraykanka iyo taariikhda dalka', isagoo sheegay inuu rabo inuu beddelo magacaas.
Apple has updated its Maps application to display the name 'Lake America' for users in the United States, following a direct executive order from President Donald Trump. The change affects only the American market, while users in Canada and elsewhere will continue to see the traditional name, Lake Ontario.
Google Maps Makes the Same Change Earlier
Google Maps implemented the renaming over the weekend, citing the Trump administration's order and its standard practice of using names from the US Geographic Names Information System. The tech giant clarified that American users will see 'Lake America', while Canadian users will still see 'Lake Ontario', and users outside both countries will see both names displayed.
This move follows Google's earlier adoption of the 'Gulf of America' moniker, demonstrating a pattern of compliance with US government naming conventions even when the change lacks broader international acceptance.
Canada Rejects the Renaming Amid Trade Tensions
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly rejected the attempt to rename the lake, noting that its name originates from the Indigenous Wendat people and predates both the Canadian Confederation and the US Declaration of Independence. The renaming comes as trade relations between Washington and Ottawa remain strained, with the US imposing 50% tariffs on several Canadian imports and Canada retaliating with 25-50% tariffs on hundreds of US goods.
The timing of the order suggests a retaliatory gesture, though Trump did not explicitly mention the trade dispute in the executive order. Instead, he stated the renaming was intended to honor 'the policy of my Administration to recognize the extraordinary contributions of the American people and the rich heritage of our history by naming great natural landmarks for our shared achievements'.
MapQuest Defies the Order and Surges to Top of App Store
MapQuest, a long-standing mapping application, openly defied the president's request by posting a screenshot of Lake Ontario on social media with the caption: 'We're not changing it.' The act of defiance propelled the app to the number one spot on Apple's App Store, making it the most in-demand navigation tool in the United States.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox Business that 'the president has reached out to Apple directly' and predicted that US users would 'be seeing that change coming up soon.' Trump later declared on Truth Social that the adoption of 'Lake America' by Google and Apple meant the name change was 'complete, ratified, and binding'.
