Trump threatens to change name of Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’
Trump linked the proposed name change to a trade fight, after the United States imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion in Canadian goods, officials said.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States is considering renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, citing a breakdown in business relations with Ontario.
- This threat follows the administration's decision to enact 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods over the weekend after trade talks between the two countries collapsed.
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford responded by threatening to cut off electricity to the United States, while Prime Minister Mark Carney has been involved in collapsing trade negotiations.
- Although Lake Ontario is a shared international waterway managed by the International Joint Commission and Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, New York State and Ontario each govern their own shoreline and lakebed portion.
- Trump previously claimed on Monday that Canada created a 60 Billion Dollar Deficit, stating that current trade arrangements are 'not sustainable' for American Patriots and the United States.
