In the wake of President Donald Trump signing an executive order to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America amid an escalating trade war with Canada, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said her state would not be referring to the body of water by its new name. “New York won’t be calling it that,” Hochul wrote in the wake of Trump signing the order. In an interview with NY1, Hochul criticized Trump’s priorities. “I'm speechless. It is so patently absurd. Shame on them for deflecting from the real needs that Americans are feeling that we have here in New York. The high cost of energy, prescription drugs, utility bills, groceries. And this is what the president spends his time on? Renaming a lake that was named after our Indigenous peoples. Shame on you.”
