They\u2019re nasty people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Behind Trump\u2019s desk in the Oval Office were two maps \u2014 one with the words \u201cLake America\u201d in red over the lake, and the other with the header \u201cMaking the Great Lakes Even Greater.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013\u00a0Canada strikes back \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Lake Ontario is the smallest by surface area of the five Great Lakes, which straddle the border between the United States and Canada. It borders the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of New York.<\/p>\n<p>The name change mirrors Trump\u2019s unilateral altering of the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in January 2025 \u2014 a move Mexico has also rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Carney retorted that the name of the lake was 400 years old \u2014 predating the formation of both the United States and Canada \u2014 and came from an Indigenous word meaning \u201cthe lake is beautiful, the lake is big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that America is changing,\u201d he said in a post on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCanadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario \u2014 then, now and always.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former Canadian and UK central banker\u2019s defiance of Trump in recent days has won plaudits at home, with Carney declaring earlier this week that Ottawa was \u201cat war\u201d after being \u201cattacked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s executive order tells the US Department of the Interior to update references to the lake in the official geographical naming service within 30 days and ensure the federal government calls it \u201cLake America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It justifies the name change by saying that the deepest part of the lake is on the American side, meaning that the United States \u201cclaims most of the Lake\u2019s volume.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump had said Tuesday that he was giving \u201cserious consideration\u201d to calling it Lake America. He then posted a TikTok video late Wednesday saying that he would proceed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013\u00a0\u2018All we need is an ocean\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Trump faces low approval ratings amid the Iran war and economic woes at home, with crucial US midterm elections around the corner in November.<\/p>\n<p>He said the name change was \u201csomething I\u2019ve been thinking about for a long time, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The US president even hinted at renaming oceans that border the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a gulf and we have a lake. Now all we need is an ocean. So, maybe we\u2019ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and\/or the Pacific. Maybe we\u2019ll change them both,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>During his second presidential term, Trump has irked a series of allies with his outlandish territorial claims, including that Canada should become the 51st US state.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has also laid claim to Greenland, an autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, and talked about making Venezuela a state following the US capture of its leader Nicolas Maduro.<\/p>\n<p>In recent days, he has also said that he will make the Strait of Hormuz between Iran and Oman a US territory, despite the fact that the war with Tehran remains ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
