Trump’s proposals on higher tariffs for Canada and renaming Lake Ontario are met with broad public opposition in a Reuters/Ipsos poll. The survey finds that only about 20% of Americans support raising tariffs on Canada, while 57% oppose the idea.
The poll also shows strong resistance to Trump’s executive order to rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” About 14% of Americans support the renaming, and 63% oppose it. Outlets report the same core figures, tying the renaming proposal to the broader context of the U.S.-Canada trade dispute.
While the coverage varies in emphasis—some headlines foreground the Lake Ontario renaming, others mention both the tariff and renaming proposals—the underlying results are consistent across sources: majorities oppose both measures, with the renaming showing a particularly large share of opposition.
