Trump Considers Renaming Lake Ontario Amid US-Canada Trade Dispute
US President Donald Trump said he is considering renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America" amid escalating trade tensions with Canada. This follows the US imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods after trade talks collapsed. Canada is expected to announce retaliatory measures. Trump linked the proposed name change to reduced business with Ontario, Canada's most populous province and key trade partner. The move echoes his previous renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and reflects growing disputes between the two countries.
