Friday, August 28, 2026 - Donald Trump signed documents ordering that Lake Ontario be renamed “Lake America” as he and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney escalate their tariffs-driven trade war.
“We’re going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario,
effective immediately, to Lake America,” Trump told reporters in the Oval
Office on Thursday, August 27, as he signed the documents.
“We filed all the necessary papers, documents, everything else.
We notified all of the various people that we have to notify. So we’ve done
everything that you have to do, and this is official, effective
immediately.”
The US President said that “the Canadian officials have
created this very badly. They’re nasty people. They charge our farmers 400%
tariffs.”
Lake Ontario is located in North America, bounded by
Ontario (Canada) to the north and New York (United States) to the south.
