Trump considers renaming Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' as US-Canada trade war explodes into fresh tensions

US President Donald Trump has once again stirred controversy with a proposal to rename a major geographic landmark amid an escalating trade confrontation with Canada. Trump said on Tuesday that his administration is seriously considering renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America, linking the idea directly to the worsening economic relationship between Washington and Ottawa. The proposal comes months after Trump used an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, a move that drew international attention and political criticism.
