Schumer Statement on Trump’s Executive Order Renaming LAKE Ontario “LAKE America”

New York, N.Y. – U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer today released the following statement about President Trump’s executive order renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America”: “Instead of lowering costs and cancelling his damaging tariffs, Trump is doubling down on a juvenile effort to rename one of the Great Lakes. He’s escalating his reckless tariff war with our closest trading partner and ally, which will continue to drive up costs for Upstate New York families, seniors and small businesses. It’s a pathetic attempt at distraction, and it’s working families who are paying the price.” ###
