Trump Floats Renaming Lake Ontario Amid Canada Tensions
Both countries have blamed the other for trade negotiations collapsing. In a statement on Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused the U.S. of wanting “last-minute changes” to the trade deal that he said were “unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.”
“In short, they asked too much and they offered too little,” Carney said at a press conference on Saturday.
Trump, meanwhile, has accused Canada of “‘Ripping Off’ the U.S.A. for decades,” calling the northern neighbor “difficult and unreasonable.”
In the days since, tensions have continued to rise between the two allied nations. Trump on Monday threatened to raise automobile tariffs on Canada to 50% beginning in 2027. He’s continued to hurl barbs at Canada, referring to its Prime Minister as “Governor Carney”—a remark that Trump has made before, and one that hints at comments he has made in the past suggesting that he wants to annex the country. At a political event on Monday, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance called Canada a “state,” before claiming it was a “Freudian slip.”
