The Associated Press has announced that it will continue to refer to Lake Ontario by its original name, disregarding U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order to rename it 'Lake America'. The global news agency stated that it must ensure place names are easily recognizable to broad audiences, noting that Canada has refused to follow the name change. The AP acknowledged the historical significance of Lake Ontario's name, which has been in use for over 400 years, and is derived from the northern Iroquoian language family.
