> U.S. President Donald Trump followed through on a social-media threat by crossing out “Lake Ontario” on a map during a Thursday Oval Office press conference and writing “Lake America.” He also signed an executive order making the new name official, at least in the U.S. Locals, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford, are rejecting the order.
