## Caption

President Donald Trump said he is renaming Lake Ontario to be known as “Lake America” in the United States as he exacerbates his trade war with Canada. 

The Republican president signed an executive order that updated the lake's name for the U.S. geographic naming service. Trump cannot force Canada to follow his preferred naming convention, however.

The move is reminiscent of his move last year to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.'"
