「これからもオンタリオ湖と呼ぶ」カナダ首相 米に反発　湖の名称変更を拒否(2026年8月28日)

Canadian Prime Minister Carney has firmly stated that the name change will not be made in response to US President Trump's order to rename Lake Ontario, one of the Great Lakes, to "Lake America." On the 27th, President Trump signed an executive order instructing that the name of Lake Ontario, located on the border with Canada, be changed to "Lake America." In response, Canadian Prime Minister Carney has countered that "the name 'Ontario' has been used for over 400 years, even before the founding of the United States," and that "it will always be called Lake Ontario." Trade negotiations between the United States and Canada have broken down, and the conflict is escalating, with President Trump announcing that he will raise tariffs on Canadian-produced automobiles, auto parts, steel, and other goods to 50% starting in January next year.
