Canada dismisses Trump's order to rename Lake Ontario to 'Lake America'
Amid rising diplomatic friction with Canada, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order to officially rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' within American borders. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed the change, asserting that Canadians will stick with the name Lake Ontario. He noted that the title has existed for over four centuries, long before the formation of the Canadian Confederation or the signing of the American Declaration of Independence.
