Washington: (RightNow) U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America. This order is effective immediately.

According to the White House, the executive order directs the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Secretary of the Interior to take necessary steps for the name change.

Lake Ontario is one of North America’s five Great Lakes, holding significant geographical and economic importance between Canada and the U.S. state of New York.

This decision comes amid ongoing tensions in U.S.-Canada trade relations, with recent negotiations failing.

It is noteworthy that trade talks between the two countries stalled last week, with both sides blaming each other for the failure.
