Americas3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported55m ago
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' amid an escalating trade dispute with Canada. The decision follows the collapse of recent trade negotiations between the two nations. In response, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has rejected the renaming, asserting that the lake’s historic name will remain unchanged.
Beyond the immediate renaming of the lake, reports indicate that the U.S. president has suggested the potential for further symbolic actions involving the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. The move marks a significant intensification of diplomatic tensions between the United States and Canada.
