Interior Secretary doug Burgum confirmed that Trump contacted Apple directly about this change, wich was only partially reflected on Apple Maps as of Monday, showing the name above the Canadian border. Unlike Google, which quickly updated the lake&#8217;s name to &#8220;Lake America,&#8221; Apple has been slower in making such adjustments triggered by Trump\u2019s orders, such as previous renamings of the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali. The order to rename Lake Ontario was issued amidst escalating trade tensions between the US and Canada, but it only applies to the US government, leaving private companies like Apple free to choose whether to implement the change. The Washington Examiner reached out to Apple for comment.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr
