“The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America in that we don’t expect to be doing much business with Ontario any longer.”
President Donald Trump is pitching a new name for one of the Great Lakes as tensions with Canada continue to escalate, suggesting Lake Ontario could become “Lake America.”
Trump made the proposal Tuesday morning on Truth Social, tying the name change directly to the current trainwreck of a trade relationship between Washington and Ontario.
“The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America in that we don’t expect to be doing much business with Ontario any longer,” Trump wrote.
He later shared a graphic displaying “Lake America” across the body of water.
