> U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order officially renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” for the United States, saying he had considered the change for a long time. The move comes as trade tensions with Canada intensify, with U.S. tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods and matching Canadian counter-tariffs on $27.6 billion of U.S. goods.
