Trump Attacks Hochul Over 1 Lake Ontario Renaming Rejection
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Aug 29
Summary
Friday’s clash centered on New York’s refusal to adopt “Lake America,” the administration’s new name for Lake Ontario, prompting Trump to publicly target Governor Kathy Hochul.
In a social media post, Trump mocked the Democratic governor and argued Canada has been taking economic advantage of both Hochul and New York.
Trump tied the dispute to his broader trade message, again alleging that Canada has been “ripping us off for decades on Trade and Tariffs.”
