众议院民主党人Debbie Dingell计划推出《Hands Off Our Great Lakes Act》法案,以挑战特朗普政府将安大略湖更名为"美洲湖"的行政令1。这一举措反映了美加之间的贸易纠纷,特朗普声称美国对加拿大的贸易赤字达"每年超过600亿美元"1,美国政府对加拿大钢铁征收了50%的关税,加拿大随后进行了报复性关税1。
在这场贸易争端中,象征意义的冲突也随之升级。加拿大安大略省省长竖立标志牌写道"Lake Ontario. Now and Always"以示对抗1,特朗普则发布视频撕毁虚拟标志并跳舞回应1。
Representative Debbie Dingell is preparing to introduce the "Hands Off Our Great Lakes Act" to counter an executive order from the Trump administration that renamed Lake Ontario to "Lake America." 1 The legislative effort represents an escalation in the public dispute between the United States and Canada over trade policy, which has included a 50 percent tariff on Canadian steel accompanied by retaliatory measures from Canada. 1
The renaming order has already drawn pushback from Canadian officials. Ontario's provincial leader erected a sign reading "Lake Ontario. Now and Always" in response to the federal directive. 1 President Trump subsequently released a video showing himself tearing up a virtual version of the sign and dancing. 1 Trump has characterized the trade imbalance with Canada as exceeding $60 billion annually. 1
