Trump renames Lake Ontario as "Lake America"

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America" in the United States, intensifying his dispute with Canada. The decision only applies to the U.S., as Trump cannot force Canada to follow his naming convention. At the ceremony in the Oval Office, Trump displayed a map with the new designation and again threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian cars, while Canada has already counterattacked with retaliatory tariffs on more than 700 American products, worth an estimated 20 billion dollars. Trump also suggested he could rename the Atlantic and/or Pacific Ocean, continuing to disparage Canada and arguing that it should become a U.S. state.
