Trump changes the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America

Donald Trump wants to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. This decision makes many people in Canada laugh.

Canada’s Prime Minister says that the lake will always be Lake Ontario. Experts say that Trump is doing this because he is having trade problems with Canada. Trump also has economic problems in the United States. He wants more votes in the next election.

Most people in Canada and America do not like this name change. They know that both countries need to be good friends and do business together.

Difficult words: decision (what you want to do after careful thinking), trade (buying and selling things and services), election (a formal process of voting to choose a person for a job in politics).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Why do experts say Trump is doing this?
