Trump signs order to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America
The order directs U.S. agencies to use the new name within 30 days as trade tensions with Canada deepen, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America," then joked he might rename the Gulf of America and eventually the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
- This executive order followed the collapse of trade talks between the U.S. and Canada last weekend, prompting Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney to announce plans matching retaliatory tariffs dollar for dollar.
- Senator Susan Collins and Governor Phil Scott condemned the order, with Scott calling it "petty and disappointing," while Carney noted Lake Ontario's name honors the indigenous Wendat people near Quebec City.
- Democratic Senator Mark Kelly told Brianna Keilar that Trump "spends a lot of time on stupid things," expressing concern about damage through 2028 amid ongoing negotiations.
- Legal experts note a president has limited power to change international water names, meaning the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans remain unchanged despite Trump's suggestion he might rename them.
