The U.S. Trade Representative, Jamieson Greer, was seen walking with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico’s National Palace on July 23, highlighting ongoing trade discussions. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has escalated tensions with Canada by issuing an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America,” a move he claims reflects the country’s growing influence. The renaming, which has been met with strong opposition from Canadian officials, is part of a broader trade dispute that has seen both nations impose retaliatory tariffs. Canada has refused to accept the new name, and democratic lawmakers are preparing to challenge the executive order through legislative means. The move comes amid heightened diplomatic friction, with Trump accusing Ottawa of treating the U.S. “like communist China” and warning that further retaliatory measures will not be tolerated. As trade talks with Mexico continue, the U.S. Appears determined to assert its position, even at the risk of deepening the rift with its northern neighbor.
