华盛顿讯——谷歌周六宣布，已开始更新其地图对安大略湖的名称显示。此前特朗普总统签署一项行政令，将该湖更名为“美利坚湖”，此时正值美加两国爆发贸易争端。
总统于上周签署行政令，要求为这座坐落于加拿大人口最多的省份安大略省与美国纽约州之间的湖泊更名。此举此前曾引发特朗普于本周早些时候威胁采取该举措，当时这两个历史盟友之间紧张的贸易关系达到临界点。
谷歌在周六的一份声明中表示，美国境内的用户将在地图上看到“美利坚湖”的名称，而加拿大境内的用户仍将看到“安大略湖”。在美加以外地区，地图上将同时显示两个名称，“美利坚湖”将以括号形式标注。
“此次更新符合我们长期以来针对国与国之间名称存在差异的水域所遵循的政策，目前已开始逐步推进，”谷歌说道。
近期几周来，由于谈判代表未能达成协议结束僵局，美加两国陷入紧张的贸易争端。本月早些时候，美国开始对数百种加拿大商品征收50%的关税，加拿大总理马克·卡尼随即宣布，加拿大将于下月对价值数十亿美元的美国商品征收最高50%的对等关税。
此次行政令出台前，特朗普与安大略省省长道格·福特发生争执。根据该行政令，特朗普要求内政部长道格·伯古姆更新地理名称信息系统（GNIS）。该系统与美国地名委员会合作，为联邦使用统一地理名称。谷歌援引了地理名称信息系统下的正式更名通知，指出其地图将“反映官方政府来源中的名称变更”。
此次更名此前，特朗普在其任期内也曾将墨西哥湾更名为“美洲湾”，该更名同样适用于联邦官方表述，但其他国家并无义务承认这一名称。
白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张周日在X平台上发文庆祝此次更名，称：“正式生效！谷歌地图上的安大略湖现已更名为美利坚湖。”
纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔在上周特朗普签署行政令后表示：“纽约不会这么称呼它。”

Google updates maps to show “Lake America” in U.S. after Trump executive order directing name change
August 30, 2026 / 9:32 AM EDT / CBS News
Washington — Google announced on Saturday that it had begun rolling out changes to how its maps display Lake Ontario’s name, after President Trump signed an executive order changing it to “Lake America” amid a trade fight between the U.S. and Canada.
The president signed an executive order last week to rename the lake, which sits between Canada’s most populous province, Ontario, and New York state. The move came after he had threatened the change earlier in the week as tense trade dynamics between the historically allied countries came to a head.
People in the U.S. will see “Lake America” on their maps, while in Canada, they will see “Lake Ontario,” Google said in a statement on Saturday. Beyond the U.S. and Canada, people will see both names displayed on their map, with “Lake America” appearing in parentheses.
“These updates follow our long-standing policy for bodies of water with names that vary from country to country, and are starting to roll out now,” Google said.
The U.S. and Canada have been locked in a tense trade fight in recent weeks after negotiators failed to reach an agreement to end the standoff. Earlier this month, the U.S. began imposing 50% tariffs on hundreds of Canadian goods, prompting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to announce that Canada will begin imposing matching tariffs of up to 50% on billions of dollars of U.S. goods next month.
With his executive order, which came after the president sparred with Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford, Mr. Trump directed Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to update the Geographic Names Information System, which works with the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to standardize geographic names for federal use. Google cited the formal name change under the GNIS, noting that its maps are updated “to reflect name changes in official government sources.”
The change comes after Mr. Trump also changed the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” earlier in his term, which was likewise applied to federal references, while other nations aren’t required to recognize the name.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung celebrated the name change on Sunday in a post on X, saying, “It’s official! LAKE AMERICA on Google Maps.”
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said after the president signed the executive order last week, “New York won’t be calling it that.”
