Wisconsin Politicians Joke About Lake Michigan Name Change Amid Trump's Lake Ontario Executive Order

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Wisconsin politicians made jokes about the renaming of Lake Michigan, another Great Lake, in response to President Trump's executive order aimed at renaming Lake Ontario.

On Thursday, President Trump signed an executive order formally changing the name of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' amid U.S.-Canadian trade tensions.

The order directs federal agencies to adopt the name-change on US maps, documents, and databases, but Trump has no authority to rename Canada's lakes.
