Trump renames Lake Ontario as 'Lake America'

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

President Trump announced on Monday that he will rename Lake Ontario to Lake America, a move that has sparked controversy.

The decision comes amid ongoing tensions between the United States and Canada over trade issues, with Canada and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo expressing their opposition to the name change.

The renaming is effective immediately and applies to U.S. federal usage of the lake, but does not affect what Canada, international bodies, or other organizations call the lake.
