这项“美国湖”行政令要求内政部长道格·伯古姆与美国地名委员会在30天内更新联邦地图
文/斯蒂芬妮·普莱斯 福克斯新闻
当地时间周四，唐纳德·特朗普总统签署一项行政命令，将安大略湖更名为“美国湖”，随后他开玩笑称，大西洋和太平洋或许也将更名。
“正如大家所知，我们把原本名为墨西哥湾的海域改了名，如今它已被普遍称为美国湾，”特朗普说道。
“所以大家想想，我们已经有了海湾，也有了湖泊。现在我们只差海洋了，”他继续说道，“所以也许我们得把大西洋或者太平洋，或者两者都改个名字。”
万斯称加拿大在贸易上对华比对美更友好：“简直疯了”
特朗普在宣布这项命令时称，安大略湖的更名“正式生效，即刻起效”。
“归根结底，出台这项命令最主要的目的，就是我们要把安大略湖的名字立即改成美国湖，”特朗普说，“就在我签署这份命令的这一刻，这项更名就正式生效了。”

特朗普表示，其政府已经“提交了所有必要的文件、材料及其他相关材料”，并已通知相关方。
“我们已经完成了所有必须完成的步骤。此事正式生效，即刻起效，”特朗普说。
据报道，特朗普重启关税威胁后加拿大取消美加联合桥梁庆祝活动
该命令要求内政部长道格·伯古姆与美国地名委员会合作，在30天内采取行动，在联邦地理名称信息系统中为该湖更名，并移除所有“安大略湖”的相关表述。
该命令同时要求地名委员会确保联邦地图、合同、文件以及各机构的通讯材料都使用新名称。
特朗普指责加拿大引发山火烟雾，称应将污染成本计入关税
该命令并不约束加拿大的称呼使用——加拿大与纽约州共享该湖的湖岸线。
这并非特朗普首次尝试为大型水域打上美国印记。
在其上任首日，特朗普就签署了第14172号行政命令《恢复彰显美国伟大的名称》，要求联邦政府用“美国湾”取代“墨西哥湾”。
特朗普借贸易新武器扩大关税策略，历届总统从未使用
特朗普随后在空军一号上签署公告，宣布2025年2月9日为首个“美国湾日”，当时他正飞越刚刚更名的海湾，前往新奥尔良参加第59届超级碗。
“今天，我非常荣幸地宣布，2025年2月9日为首个美国湾日，”特朗普在公告中写道。

特朗普坚持“美国湖”更名举措
伯古姆当时表示，内政部已落实特朗普在行政令中的指示。
此次“美国湖”命令沿用了此前的政策，声称美国是五大湖系统“最伟大的守护者”。
该命令提及美国过去十年在淡水生态系统上投入了近40亿美元，以及海岸警卫队的破冰船队。
参议员们否决特朗普让加拿大承担山火烟雾成本的提议：“荒谬至极”
“过去十年，美国为保护五大湖淡水生态系统投入了近40亿美元，而同期加拿大在类似项目上的投入要少得多，”命令中写道。
该命令还提及该湖在美国贸易、定居、国防、商业和能源领域的历史性作用，称其仍是美国重要的经济和战略资源。
“为表彰这一蓬勃发展的经济资源及其对我国经济和民众的至关重要性，我正式下令将该湖更名为美国湖，”特朗普写道。

Trump floats renaming the Atlantic and Pacific oceans after rebranding historic lake
August 27, 2026 3:06pm EDT / Fox News
‘Lake America’ order directed Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and the Board on Geographic Names to update federal maps within 30 days
By Stepheny Price Fox News
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America,” then joked that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans could be next.
“As you know, we took something called the Gulf of Mexico, we changed it, and now it’s very routinely the Gulf of America,” Trump said.
“So if you think about it, we have a gulf and we have a lake. Now all we need is an ocean,” he continued. “So maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and or the Pacific. Maybe we’ll change them both.”

Trump declared the Lake Ontario change “official, effective immediately” while announcing the order.
“And finally, it’s the purpose of this more than anything else is we’re going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario, effective immediately to Lake America,” Trump said. “That’s going to take place right now as I signed the order.”

The president said the administration had “filed all the necessary papers, documents, everything else” and notified the relevant parties.
“So we’ve done everything that you have to do. And this is official, effective immediately,” Trump said.

The order directs Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, working with the Board on Geographic Names, to take steps within 30 days to rename the lake in the federal Geographic Names Information System and remove references to “Lake Ontario.”
It also directs the board to ensure federal maps, contracts, documents and agency communications use the new name.

The order does not control the name used by Canada, which borders the lake along with New York.
It is not Trump’s first effort to put an American stamp on a major body of water.
On his first day back in office, Trump signed Executive Order 14172, “Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness,” directing the federal government to use “Gulf of America” in place of the Gulf of Mexico.

Trump later signed a proclamation declaring Feb. 9, 2025, the first “Gulf of America Day” while aboard Air Force One over the newly renamed gulf en route to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
“Today, I am very honored to recognize February 9, 2025, as the first ever Gulf of America Day,” Trump wrote in the proclamation.

Trump doubles down on ‘Lake America’ name change
Burgum said at the time that the Interior Department had implemented Trump’s instruction from the executive order.
The Lake America order invokes that same policy, arguing that the United States is the “greatest protector” of the Great Lakes system.
It points to nearly $4 billion in U.S. freshwater ecosystem investment over the last decade, as well as the Coast Guard’s fleet of icebreaking vessels.

“The United States has invested nearly $4 billion in protecting the Great Lakes freshwater ecosystem in the last decade, while Canada has invested far less in similar initiatives over the same period,” the order states.
The order also cites the lake’s historic role in American trade, settlement, defense, commerce and energy, arguing it remains a major economic and strategic resource for the United States.
“In recognition of this flourishing economic resource and its critical importance to our Nation’s economy and its people, I am directing that the Lake officially be renamed as Lake America,” Trump wrote.

Trump’s comments about renaming the Atlantic and Pacific appeared to be a joke. He announced no executive action or formal effort targeting either ocean.
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
