华盛顿8月27日路透电 — 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于周四将安大略湖更名为“美国湖”，此举进一步激化了与加拿大的争端，此前双方已针对数百亿美元跨境贸易征收关税。
特朗普表示，此次更名将即刻生效。他还在去年就职后下令将墨西哥湾更名为“美国湾”。

“我们将即刻把安大略湖更名为美国湖，”特朗普在白宫椭圆形办公室对记者说道。
“事实上，将这片湖泊更名为美国湖是我考虑已久的计划，”特朗普补充道。
美加贸易谈判于上周破裂，双方均指责对方破坏了为期三天的密集磋商。

作为北美五大湖之一，安大略湖与加拿大安大略省及美国纽约州接壤。
加拿大总理马克·卡尼的办公室未立即回应置评请求。
特朗普于2025年1月下令更名墨西哥湾后，作为内政部下属机构的美国地名委员会耗时约两周，更新了地理名称信息系统中的联邦官方命名，该更名即刻适用于联邦政府使用。
路透社/益普索5月开展的一项民调显示，72%的美国人对加拿大持好感态度——这一比例高于调查中包括德国和墨西哥在内的任何其他国家，且约为特朗普本人支持率的两倍。
根据1909年签署的条约，安大略湖约52%的水域位于加拿大境内，剩余水域归属纽约州。

Trump signs order to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America
August 27, 2026 5:31 PM UTC / Reuters
WASHINGTON, Aug 27 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump renamed Lake Ontario “Lake America” on Thursday, escalating a feud with Canada that has already spawned tariffs on tens of billions of dollars in cross-border trade.
The change would take effect immediately, said Trump, who also ordered the Gulf of Mexico renamed as the Gulf of America after assuming office last year.

“We’re going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario effective immediately to Lake America,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
“The lake change, the Lake of America, was something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, actually,” Trump said.
Trade talks between the U.S. and Canada collapsed last week with each side blaming the other for derailing three days of intensive negotiations.

One of the five Great Lakes of North America, Lake Ontario borders both the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
After Trump ordered the Gulf of Mexico renamed in January 2025, it took about two weeks for the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, as part of the Department of the Interior, to update the official federal nomenclature in the Geographic Names Information System to reflect the changes, effective immediately for federal use.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll in May showed 72% of Americans had a favorable view of Canada – a higher share than any other country in the survey had, including Germany and Mexico – and about twice Trump’s own approval rating.
About 52% of the surface area of Lake Ontario is in Canada, with the remainder in New York under a 1909 treaty.
