Canada dispute: Trump considers renaming half-Canadian lake to 'Lake America'
In the escalating trade conflict with neighboring Canada, the US President has opened up a new front - and is publicly thinking about renaming one of the largest lakes in North America.
US President Donald Trump has suggested renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America" amid a tense trade conflict with Canada. The proposal comes after Ontario Premier Doug Ford criticised Trump, saying he could "kiss my ass". The trade dispute escalated after the US imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods worth around $20 billion, prompting Canada to announce retaliatory tariffs. Trump has threatened to increase tariffs on Canadian cars, parts, and steel to 50% by year's end.
