Trump Signs Order to Rename Lake Ontario to Lake America The latest salvo in the ongoing trade dispute between the US and Canada has come in the form of an executive order from President Trump, seeking to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America.
This appears to be a petty gesture, a provocative renaming of a shared body of water that has been a point of contention between the two nations for centuries.
However, scratch beneath the surface, and it's clear that this name change reflects a deeper dynamic at play in international relations – one where economic power is increasingly being used as a cudgel to impose will on others.
