Trump orders Lake Ontario renamed 'Lake America' amid Canada trade dispute
President Trump signed an executive order directing the Interior Department to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America" in US geographic records. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected the move, citing the lake's Indigenous heritage and insisting it remains Lake Ontario. The action escalates tensions as the US imposes 50% tariffs on Canadian goods and Canada retaliates with its own tariffs.
