一句话看懂
Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America. The move escalates a trade war with Canada, which refuses to accept the change.
背景
The renaming follows a breakdown in U.S.-Canada trade talks, with Washington imposing 50% tariffs on Canadian goods and Canada threatening counter-tariffs. Trump previously renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, and this move is seen as part of his 'America First' ideology.
