Ford says Trump renaming Lake Ontario is ‘something out of Saturday Night Live’
Ford said the lake will keep its name as Canada and the United States remain locked in a trade dispute over tariffs.
- Following the collapse of trade talks, President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on many Canadian goods, prompting Ontario Premier Doug Ford to warn on August 24 that the measures would be "devastating" for both the United States and Canada.
- Trump escalated tensions last week by announcing plans to double auto tariffs on Canada starting Jan. 1, 2027, a move Ford argued is counterproductive given the United States' reliance on Canadian vehicle purchases.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized the deep economic integration, noting Canada provides 60% of the United States' crude oil imports while more than 70% of Canadian exports go to the U.S.
- Amid trade disputes, Trump signed an executive order last week renaming Lake Ontario as "Lake America"; Ford called the move "disappointing," asserting the landmark's name remains unchanged despite the order.
- During an appearance on ABC News' "This Week" on Sunday, Ford maintained that he differentiates between the "great American people" and the administration, criticizing the tariff strategy as "the worst thing" for the American economy.
