During a news conference in the Oval Office of the White House on Thursday, 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. Trump's decision to rename this body of water is part of his broader war on geography, which has escalated into trade tensions between the US and Canada.
The renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America is a significant development, as it has implications for the geography of North America and the naming conventions used by the international community.
