Trump changes the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America – level 2

01-09-2026 07:00

US President Donald Trump signed an order to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. This decision happened during a difficult trade war between the United States and Canada.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded calmly and said that the lake will always keep its original name. Most Canadians are not angry, but they see this move as a silly political game.

Trump is currently facing many big problems at home, including a weak economy, high prices, and upcoming political elections. Experts believe he is picking fights with neighboring countries to get attention and support from American voters. But many Americans still view Canada as a close friend and important business partner, which makes Trump’s actions unpopular on both sides of the border.

Difficult words: trade war (a fight where countries hurt each other’s business), upcoming (when something happens or arrives soon in the near future ), attention (notice, interest, or thought given to someone or something).
