President Donald Trump pressed Apple to update its maps function with his new name for New York’s Lake Ontario, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said Monday. 

During an interview with Fox Business’s Mornings With Maria, Burgum said Trump reached out to Apple directly to request the update after the president signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario, which lies in both the United States and Canada, to “Lake America.” Only the Lake Ontario name appeared on Apple’s platform as of Monday afternoon, although the label hovered above Canada’s water border.
