宾夕法尼亚州共和党州众议员戴维·马洛伊要求唐纳德·特朗普总统将伊利湖更名为“宾夕法尼亚湖”，以呼应总统此前的更名行动。
马洛伊正准备提交一项决议，呼吁特朗普、内政部长道格·伯古姆以及国会山的议员们采取行动将伊利湖更名为“宾夕法尼亚湖”，并辩称这一改动是为了体现该湖泊的现代身份。
“这是宾夕法尼亚州唯一的大湖。如今其经济和身份越来越与前来游玩的划船爱好者、垂钓者、家庭和游客紧密相连，”马洛伊在一份声明中说道。“俄亥俄州拥有大量湖岸线。纽约州已经拥有两个大湖。加拿大则拥有另外四个。”

“宾夕法尼亚州只有一个。那我们就叫它宾夕法尼亚湖吧！”他补充道。
据美国环境保护署数据，伊利湖是体积最小、最浅的大湖。该湖流域约有1200万人口，其中美国境内1050万，加拿大境内190万。
此事发生在上月特朗普签署行政令将安大略湖更名为“美国湖”之后，加拿大方面不承认这一更名，并予以坚决反对。
“我们知道美国正在改变。他们的贸易关系、外交政策、国家纪念地、水文地名都在变。加拿大人也清楚，尊重命名现实就意味着始终称其为安大略湖——过去是，现在是，将来也是，”加拿大总理马克·卡尼在一份声明中说道。

此次更名仅适用于美国联邦政府，这意味着加拿大、其他国际机构以及美国各州不必被迫承认这一改动。但在特朗普签署行政令后，苹果地图和谷歌地图将美国用户端的安大略湖名称改为了“美国湖”。
特朗普还曾提议将新墨西哥州更名为“新美国”，促使该州多名民主党议员呼吁苹果和谷歌公开承诺在各自的地图应用中保留该州当前名称。
特朗普还曾提出将太平洋和大西洋更名的想法。

2025年1月特朗普就职首日，曾签署行政令将墨西哥湾更名为“美国湾”，但与安大略湖更名事件类似，该命令仅适用于美国联邦政府，对墨西哥、其他国际机构或私营实体不具有约束力。

苹果地图和谷歌地图同样为美国用户采纳了这一改动，根据用户设备所在位置采用区域化方式完成了更新。
Pennsylvania lawmaker suggests Trump should rename Lake Erie to ‘Lake Pennsylvania’
The push follows President Donald Trump’s executive orders renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario

Pennsylvania state Rep. David Maloney, a Republican, is asking President Donald Trump to rename Lake Erie to “Lake Pennsylvania” following similar renaming efforts by the president.
Maloney is preparing a resolution calling on Trump, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and lawmakers on Capitol Hill to take steps to rename Lake Erie to “Lake Pennsylvania,” arguing that the change is needed to reflect the lake’s modern identity.
“This is Pennsylvania’s only Great Lake. Its modern economy and identity are increasingly tied to the boaters, anglers, families and tourists who come to enjoy it,” Maloney said in a statement. “Ohio has plenty of shoreline. New York already has two Great Lakes. Canada has four others.”

“Pennsylvania has one. Let’s call it Lake Pennsylvania!” he added.
Lake Erie is the smallest of the Great Lakes by volume as well as the shallowest, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The lake has about 12 million people in its watershed, with 10.5 million people in the U.S. and 1.9 million people in Canada.
This comes after Trump signed an executive order last month to rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” a rebranding that Canada does not recognize and has firmly rejected.
“We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario — then, now and always,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a statement.

The renaming only applies to the U.S. federal government, meaning Canada, other international bodies and U.S. states are not forced to acknowledge the change. But both Apple Maps and Google Maps changed the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America” for U.S. users following Trump’s executive order.
The president has also suggested renaming New Mexico to “New America,” prompting several of the state’s Democratic lawmakers to call on Apple and Google to publicly commit to keeping the state’s current name on their respective maps applications.
Trump has also floated the idea of renaming the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

On his first day back in office in January 2025, Trump signed an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” but, similar to the Lake Ontario rebranding, the order only applies to the U.S. federal government and does not bind Mexico, other international bodies or private entities.
