Trump renames Lake Ontario to 'Lake America'

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday renaming Lake Ontario as "Lake America" for all US federal use, effective immediately.

The move escalates his ongoing trade and diplomatic dispute with Canada, which Trump accused of "ripping off" the United States.

The renaming applies only within the US and has no legal effect on Canadian territory or international maps.

It marks the latest in a series of provocative gestures aimed at America's northern neighbor amid tariff tensions.
