President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename another body of water on Thursday.

This time, it's Lake Ontario.

Amid a trade dispute with Canada, Trump decided that Lake Ontario should instead be known as Lake America. It remains to be seen whether mapmakers and other countries will follow suit.

Trump has previously renamed an international body of water, proclaiming the Gulf of Mexico would become the Gulf of America.

Do you think Lake America is a better name for the body of water between New York and Canada? Let us know by voting in the poll.
