Summary
A Canadian fan at Friday's FIBA Women's World Cup game held a two-sided sign reading "Lake America?" and "Lake Ontario!!" to protest President Donald Trump's recent renaming order.
Trump signed the order last month directing the Interior Department to change Lake Ontario to "Lake America" in the federal names system, framing the move as part of U.S. stewardship of the Great Lakes.
The renaming came after U.S.-Canada trade talks collapsed and has added to tensions with Canada, where the new name appears to have found little support.
On the court in Berlin, the United States opened the tournament with a 94-61 win over China as Caitlin Clark posted 14 points and 11 assists in her senior international debut.
