Trump Renames Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ in Jab at Canada over Trade War

President Donald Trump has followed through on his threat to rename Lake Ontario as his trade war with Canada continues.

The president lambasted Canadian officials after they rejected a trade deal and responded with reciprocal tariffs to Trump’s newest tariffs.

The president signed an executive order changing the lake’s name to “Lake America” on Thursday.

“We’re going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario effective immediately to Lake America,” he said to reporters.

“We filed all of the necessary papers, documents, [and] everything else. We’ve notified all of the various people you have to notify,” he added.

The president previously changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” shortly after he retook office. (Read more from “Trump Renames Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ in Jab at Canada over Trade War” HERE)
