"Lake America": Dispute with Canada: Trump considers renaming Lake Ontario
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 North America's five Great Lakes.
Canada has imposed retaliatory tariffs of up to 50 percent on imports from the US, worth $27.6 billion. The tariffs, effective September 8, will target products including steel, aluminum, household appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp, paper, and electronics. This move comes in response to US tariffs on Canadian goods, including hockey sticks, furniture, honey, and wine, worth around $20 billion.
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney had previously announced retaliatory measures, and the country's government has also unveiled support measures for affected industries worth 7.5 billion Canadian dollars.
