Former President Donald Trump has signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, a move framed as a response to tensions with Canada. The order takes effect immediately, marking a symbolic shift amid ongoing diplomatic friction. The decision comes as part of broader rhetoric targeting Canada, described in the past by Trump as "nasty." The change reflects a broader pattern of unilateral actions on naming conventions, though its practical impact remains unclear.
