Trump threatens to change name of Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’
- President Donald Trump announced the U.S. is considering renaming Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' amid escalating trade tensions with Canada, including new 50% tariffs on $20 billion in Canadian goods.
- This renaming proposal follows Trump's earlier executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and is part of a broader pattern of actions affecting U.S.-Canada relations.
- The name 'Lake Ontario' originates from a Huron word meaning 'beautiful water,' and Canada is unlikely to recognize the proposed name change, complicating diplomatic relations.
- Canadian officials have strongly criticized Trump's actions, labeling him a 'bully,' and public opinion polls indicate significant American disapproval of the tariff increases.
