President Donald Trump floated renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” on Tuesday as the U.S. and Canada’s trade dispute continued to escalate after negotiations with his administration collapsed.
“The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America in that we don't expect to doing much business with Ontario any longer,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Shortly afterward, Trump also denied rumors that he would interfere with Canadians speaking French.
“I would never interfere with Canadians speaking French! In fact, I have never even thought of doing such a stupid thing,” he wrote. “This lie was made up by a weak and ineffective Prime Minister in an attempt to gain political support, which he has totally lost, from the people of Quebec. I love French Canadians!”
Canada is expected to announce retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. on Tuesday, after Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada may need to move away from matching U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar.
Instead, Carney suggested Canada would pursue a more targeted response aimed at protecting Canadian workers and businesses.
The dispute escalated again Monday when Trump told Canadian leaders to “fall in line” or face consequences “far WORSE” than the tariffs already imposed against the country. He threatened new 50% tariffs on Canadian vehicles, auto parts and steel.

All schtick.
Carney is what the People of Britain would call a wanker!
It is Lake Ontario and it should Remain...and remember...there is an international border that runs through the Lake. I had the survey map at one time.
Not so fast!
How will students learn the Great Lakes names?
What is a HAMES?
Good to see him focusing on the really important issues...
The Bee almost got me again.
I have a hard time understanding how irritating the Canadians is a good plan?
Trump is obviously stimulating the American economy by boosting the sale of American high blood-pressure meds to Canada.
Canada is but a part of North AMERICA.
It’s just another jab to the liberals...LOL
For sure...But the media always loves the bones that Trump throws them...When will they catch on??
