Trump wants to rename lake
209
The USA and Canada have a big dispute. It is mostly about taxes on goods. These taxes are called Zölle. Donald Trump now announces high Zölle for goods from Canada. These Zölle are 50 percent.
Now Donald Trump wants to rename a large lake. The lake is called Ontario-See. It lies right on the border. Trump wants it to be called Lake America in the USA. He signs an order for this. But Canada does not want this.
Canada says: The name Ontario is very old. It comes from the first people of America. Mark Carney is the leader of Canada. He says: The lake always stays the Ontario-See. Other politicians in Canada also reject the change.
Experts say: Trump wants to show strength. He is a National-Ist. This means he thinks of his own country first. Many people on the internet find the idea funny. They make jokes about the new name.
The dispute hurts the economy in both countries. People in Michigan in the north of the USA feel afraid. There is a lot of car industry there. The Zölle make many things more expensive. There are also problems in Iran due to war and Zölle. Gasoline at gas stations becomes scarce there.
