Trump Threatens to Rename Lake Ontario ‘Lake America’ Amid New Canadian Trade War
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported44m ago
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump threatened to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America" amidst an escalating trade war with Canada. Trump supported his threat by displaying a map featuring the new proposed name.
This action mirrors a similar move by Trump last year, when he renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America." The current threat of renaming the lake accompanies a stepping up of his rhetorical escalation against Canada.
According to reports, the trade war escalation and rhetoric coincide with a real conflict involving Iran and a period of skyrocketing domestic costs within the United States.
