Trump's latest Canada trade war threat: renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America
"The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America," Trump said on Truth Social on Tuesday.
The escalating trade dispute between the United States and Canada has taken a new turn as President Donald Trump threatens to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. The proposal emerges as trade tensions between the two nations have been intensifying in recent days. Situated on the US-Canada border, Lake Ontario serves as a prominent feature, with Toronto, Canada's largest city, nestled on its northern bank. Trump's statement comes amid growing concerns over the impact of a potential trade war.
