Trump signs executive order renaming Lake Ontario 'Lake America' amid trade tensions with Canada
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday seeking to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America,” with the change taking effect immediately, amid ongoing trade tensions between the United States and Canada.
The move comes as relations between the two neighboring countries remain strained by the continuing trade dispute. The lake borders both the United States and Canada and is one of the five Great Lakes shared by the two nations.
Trump’s order directs the use of the new name in U.S. federal government communications and documents. The renaming is expected to face questions over how the name would be recognized outside the United States, since geographic names involving international boundaries can require cooperation between countries.
Lake Ontario is the smallest of the Great Lakes by surface area and stretches along the borders of New York and the Canadian province of Ontario. The lake has long been known by its current name in both countries.
