U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday directing the interior secretary to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America amid worsening tensions and a trade war with Canada. Sitting near a map displaying the new name over the body of water, Trump stated that Canada has been "entitled" and difficult to deal with, while repeating claims that the country was ripping off the United States.

Canadian officials rejected the attempt, and critics called the move absurd and senseless. Manitoba leader Wab Kinew described the executive order as a little sad and not Trump's best work. Meanwhile, the trade war is causing ongoing confusion, with reports of British Columbia businesses being affected by tariffs that do not apply to them.

When asked why he was targeting American allies rather than adversaries, Trump defended the actions by stating that they have not treated the United States well. Google Trending Now shows increased search interest in ca.
