Trump renames Lake Ontario, Canadians object

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario as 'Lake America', a move that has sparked immediate backlash in Canada.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the lake will continue to be called by its original name, dismissing the renaming as a political stunt.

Lawmakers on both sides of the border have criticized the move as preposterous and divisive.

The renaming adds to tensions in the US-Canada trade relationship.
