10:11Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump’s latest executive order calls for renaming Lake Ontario as “Lake America,” amid an ongoing trade dispute between the United States and Canada.
Trump introduced the idea of renaming the easternmost area of the Great Lakes earlier this week, hours before Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s scheduled announcement of reciprocal tariffs on U.S. imports into his country.
"The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America in that we don’t expect to be doing much business with Ontario any longer," Trump posted Tuesday on Truth Social.
LiveNOW’s Anna Marsick asked Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown about the naming controversy.
MORE INFO:
The lake’s name comes from the Huron Indigenous people’s word "oniatarí:io," which means "lake of shining waters," and it predates European settlement in the region. The province, founded in 1867, took its name from the lake.
