WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will change the name of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' within the United States, amid escalating trade tensions with Canada. The Republican president signed an executive order to update the name in the records of the U.S. Geographic Names Board. However, Trump cannot compel Canada to adopt the name he prefers. This move is reminiscent of his action last year to rename the Gulf of Mexico as 'Gulf of America.' Trump, who signed the order while seated at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, had a large sign behind him displaying a map of the Great Lakes. Over Lake Ontario, the map showcased the words 'Lake America' in bold red letters.
