Trump signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America". Following this decision, the US president has now proposed renaming the Hormuz Strait as "Trump Strait". The waterway has been blocked by Iran since February, in an escalation of tension in the Persian Gulf region. The suggestion comes as part of a series of renaming measures initiated by the Trump administration.
