Trump firma orden que renombra el lago Ontario en medio de la disputa arancelaria EE. UU.-Canadá

El 27 de agosto el presidente Donald Trump firmó una orden ejecutiva que cambió el nombre geográfico oficial de Lake Ontario a “Lake America” en los registros de EE.  UU. , informó AP News. La medida se produjo después de que Washington impusiera aranceles del 50 % a aproximadamente 20 mil millones de dólares en productos canadienses, una acción que entró en vigor tras el colapso de las negociaciones comerciales, según PBS. Canadá anunció aranceles de represalia sobre productos estadounidenses a partir del 8 de septiembre, informó Al Jazeera.

El conflicto se originó tras intensas negociaciones a principios de agosto, cuando funcionarios de EE.  UU. y Canadá intentaron evitar los aranceles antes de la medianoche, informó CBS. Trump había planteado previamente la idea de renombrar el lago como respuesta simbólica a las medidas comerciales, señaló AP News, y funcionarios canadienses desestimaron la propuesta, diciendo que no afectaría el nombre del lago en Canadá, informó Business Insider.
