Trump Renames Lake Ontario to Lake America

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

During a news conference in the Oval Office of the White House on Thursday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order that changes the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America.

Lake Ontario is a large body of water shared between the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of New York. The name change is part of Trump's ongoing war on geography, which has escalated with trade tensions between the US and Canada.

The new name, Lake America, is a clear statement of Trump's intent to redefine the border between the two countries. While the name change is not officially recognized by the United Nations, it has sparked debate and controversy.

The name change has not been officially confirmed by the US government, and there is no consensus on whether it will be widely used. The debate over the name change highlights the ongoing tensions between the US and Canada, and the impact of Trump's policies on international relations.
