Days after Canada and the U.S. announced reciprocal tariffs after trade talks fell apart, President Trump said he would be renaming Lake Ontario. Here’s what to know.
Lake America: Trump signed an executive order changing the U.S. name for Lake Ontario to “Lake America” in an escalation of the U.S.-Canada trade war. Canada is not obligated to follow the naming convention. [AP]
Canada responds: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the lake’s name predates both Canada and the U.S. as nations. He added: “Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario — then, now and always.” Slightly more than half of the surface area of Lake Ontario is in Canada. [Reuters]
Kennedy Center: An effort to add Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center facade will be paused until at least Oct. 8, the Department of Justice said, after U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper requested more time to consider whether the renaming violates a 1983 law barring “additional memorials.” [ABC News]
