Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton among U.S. figures condemning Trump’s ‘Lake America’ order
Democrats called the move a distraction from trade talks with Canada, as New York leaders rejected the new name.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario 'Lake America.' The directive applies to the federal government, though it does not mandate that the public or New York communities adopt the new name.
- Rep. Joe Morella accused Trump of using the renaming to distract Americans from stalled trade negotiations with Canada. Democrats criticized the proposal as a 'pathetic' diversion from economic issues like rising gas and grocery prices.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the order 'sad and pathetic,' while New York Gov. Kathy Hochul stated the state would not use the new name. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries labeled the renaming 'a joke.'
- Along the shoreline, residents including sisters Theresa Chalone and Patricia Hardwick rejected the change. Corradino noted that updating all references to the lake would be a significant logistical challenge for the region.
- Oswego County, which supported Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024, may respond to these priorities in November. Meanwhile, the long-standing name remains unchanged for those living along the water.
