Trump says U.S. is considering renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America

August 25, 2026

U.S. President Donald Trump says his administration is giving “serious consideration” to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America .

In a Truth Social post on Tuesday morning, the president wrote, “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, on the other hand, called the Ontario premier a “flunky” in a social media post.

Can we please have some adults in the room for once? Canada is just as bad when it comes to applying tariffs on the U.S. as the other way around. If we were "attacked" (with last-minute demands in trade talks), then why isn't Mark Carney showing Canadians the proposed deal and letting us decide? Read More
