Trump Proposes Renaming Lake Ontario Amid US-Canada Trade Dispute
US President Donald Trump proposed renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America" amid escalating trade tensions with Canada. The lake, shared by the US state of New York and the Canadian province of Ontario, forms part of their border. While the US Board on Geographic Names could change the name for federal use, Canadian authorities and international bodies would not be bound by such a decision. The proposal follows previous US efforts to rename geographic features and has been dismissed by Canadian officials.
