United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America" amidst an escalating trade war with Canada. The directive prompted immediate pushback from Ottawa.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded to the executive order by stating that the body of water will remain Lake Ontario "then, now and always." Carney emphasized that the traditional name carries a 400-year history that predates the establishment of both the United States and Canada.
