Trump SLAMS Canada after signing order renaming Lake Ontario

. THERE'S A LOT MORE TO TALK. ABOUT. WE'LL HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN SOON. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE PRESIDENT IS IN THE. OVAL OFFICE RIGHT NOW DURING A. SIGNING EVENT AND RUNNING INTO. SOME REPORTERS. >> I WANT TO CONGRATULATE. DARLINE GRAHAM ON HER TREMENDOUS. VICTORY. SHE'S DOING GREAT. SHE'S STILL GOT TO RUN AGAINST A. RADICAL LEFT LUNATIC AND THE. SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE ARE NOT. GOING TO STAND FOR THAT. I KNOW SOUTH CAROLINA VERY WELL.

I WON IT EVERY TIME. I WON BY RECORD NUMBERS. MILLIONS OF VOTES. I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE. DARLENE FOR HAVING RUN REALLY A. GREAT RACE AND SHE'S GOING T TOE. A GREAT SENATOR AND THE PEOPLE. LOVE HER. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HER. THAT'S VERY SPECIAL. SHE'S GOT A LITTLE LINDSEY IN. THERE SOMEWHERE. GOOD GENETICS. LINDSEY IS LOOKING DOWN VERY, VERY HAPPY AND VERY PROUD OF HIS. SISTER. CONGRATULATIONS.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS MORE THAN. ANYTHING ELSE IS WE ARE GOING TO. BE CHANGING THE NAME OF. LAKE ONTARIO EFFECTIVE. IMMEDIATELY TO LAKE AMERICA. THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE RIGHT. NOW AS I SIGN THE ORDER PRAYER. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY. ABOUT IT? >> YES, SIR. THIS IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD BUT. IMPORTANT EXECUTIVE ORDER AND. DIRECTS SECRETARY BURGUM AND THE. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO. UPDATE THE GEOGRAPHIC NAMES TO. REFLECT THAT THE LAKE ONCE KNOWN.

AS LAKE ONTARIO WILL FROM THIS. DAY FORWARD BE KNOWN AS. LAKE AMERICA I. PRAY THIS IS THE. LAKE THAT HAS MOST OF ITS VOLUME. IN THE UNITED STATES FOR THE. DEEPEST PART OF THE LAKES IN THE. UNITED STATES TERRITORY. >> President Trump: THANK YOU. OKAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE FILED ALL THE NECESSARY. PAPERS, DOCUMENTS, EVERYTHING. ELSE. WE HAVE NOTIFIED THE VARIOUS. PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE TO NOTIFY. SO WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT. YOU HAVE TO DO. THIS IS OFFICIAL EFFECTIVE. IMMEDIATELY. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> Reporter: MR. PRESIDENT.

>> Reporter: THAT VIDEO THAT. YOU PUT UP, CROSSING OUT. LAKE ONTARIO. AS YOU CAN SEE. [INDISTINCT]. WHAT MESSAGE ARE YOU SENDING? WHY WAS IT SUCH AN IMPORTANT. THING TO DO. >> President Trump: IT'S AN. INTERESTING QUESTION. NO MESSAGE. AS YOU KNOW CANADA HAS BEEN. RIPPING US OFF FOR A LONG TIME. ON TRADE, VERY SADLY. EVEN THE MILITARY. WE DEFEND CANADA FOR NOTHING. THEY DON'T PAY US TO DEFEND. CANADA BUT WE DEFEND CANADA AND.

THEY UNDERSTAND THAT. AS AN EXAMPLE, WE BOUGHT. ICEBREAKERS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO. USE AND WE HAVE 11 BRAND NEW. ICEBREAKERS COMING IN. THEY'D LIKE TO USE THE. ICEBREAKERS. THEY DON'T PAY FOR ANYTHING. AND THEY WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE. A STATE BUT THEY'RE NOT A STATE. BUT THEY WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE. THEY'RE A STATE. WE JUST CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE. WE LOSE ON AVERAGE OVER THE LAST. 15 YEARS $60 BILLION A YEAR. CARRYING CANADA SO WE JUST CAN'T. DO IT ANYMORE. WE LOVE THE PEOPLE OF CANADA. I DON'T THINK THEY ARE.

REPRESENTATIVES -- THEIR. REPRESENTATIVES DO AN. APPROPRIATE JOB. MAYBE THEY WILL CHANGE. I DON'T KNOW. DOESN'T MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE. WE CAN'T LET THE WHOLE CANADIAN. THING THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR. DECADES AND IT HAS TO COME TO A. STOP. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING. TARIFFS ON THEIR CARS THAT ARE. COMING IN AT A SUBSTANTIAL LEVEL. BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE THE CARS. HERE. THEY CAN MAKE THEIR OWN CARS IF. THEY WANT AND THEY CAN CONTINUE. TO MAKE CARS FOR CANADA BUT WE.

DON'T WANT THEM TO MAKE CARS FOR. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IT'S VERY SIMPLE. LIKEWISE MANY OTHER PRODUCTS. THE LAKE CHANGE, LAKE OF. AMERICA, SOMETHING I'VE BEEN. THINKING ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME. ACTUALLY. AS YOU KNOW, WE TOOK SOMETHING. CALLED THE GULF OF MEXICO THIRID. WE CHANGED IT. NOW IT'S VERY ROUTINELY THE GULF. OF AMERICA. SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WE. HAVE A GULF AND WE HAVE A LAKE.

NOW ALL WE NEED IS AN OCEAN. SO MAYBE WE'LL HAVE TO CHANGE. THE NAME OF THE ATLANTIC AND/OR. THE PACIFIC OR MAYBE WE WILL. CHANGE THEM BOTH. >> Reporter: DOING THINGS LIKE. THIS TOWARDS AMERICA'S ALLIES. INSTEAD OF DOING THINGS --. >> President Trump: THEY. HAVEN'T TREATED US WELL. CANADIAN OFFICIALS HAVE TREATED. US BADLY. THEY ARE NASTY PEOPLE. THEY CHARGE OUR FARMERS 400%. TARIFFS. THEY HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR A. LONG TIME AND I HAVE THEM. FIGURED OUT IN MY FIRST TERM AND. I DID SOME PRETTY STRONG THINGS.

AND THEN THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED. AND NOW I'M COMING BACK AND. DOING IT AND FINISHING THE JOB. THEY TREAT US VERY BADLY FOR. CANADA TREATS US VERY BADLY. I WOULD SAY OF ALL COUNTRIES, AS. YOU KNOW WE HAVE PRESIDENT XI. COMING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. WE DEAL WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE. PEOPLE OFTENTIMES THEY WILL ASK. ME, WHO'S THE WORST TO DEAL WITH. ON TRADE? AND I SAID, THAT'S EASY PURE. CANADA. THEY HAVE THE WORST AT TRADE. THEY FEEL ENTITLED. WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.

>> Reporter: TED CRUZ KEEPS. TEASING A 2020 PRESIDENTIAL RUN. YOU HAVE RUN AGAINST HIM FOR. PRESIDENT. DO YOU THINK HE COULD BE. PRESIDENT? WHAT'S YOUR REACTION? >> President Trump: YOU SAY. HE'S GOING TO RUN? >>>> HE'S TEASING, TALKING ABOUT. IT. >> President Trump: YOU DON'T. MEAN 2020. >> 2028. >> President Trump: HE'S VERY. TALENTED BECOME A VERY GOOD. FRIEND OF MINE. I THINK HE MIGHT DO THAT, YOUR. HE'S A TALENTED GUY.

>> Reporter: WHAT WOULD YOU. SAY TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE. CONCERNED THAT A TRADE DISPUTE. WITH CANADA COULD AFFORD. AMERICAN AFFORDABILITY? >> President Trump: ULTIMATELY. IT'S GOING TO BE VERY GOOD FOR. US. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT. AFFORDABILITY, WE ARE LOSING. 62 BILLION A YEAR ON AVERAGE. WITH CANADA. IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT IT, WE ARE. LOSING MORE THAN THAT. GETS TOO MUCH. GETS TOO MUCH. WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THAT. WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT. ANYMORE. >> HAS VLADIMIR PUTIN AGREED OR. COMMITTED TO NOT ATTACKING A. NATO TERRITORY?

>> President Trump: I'VE HAD. GOOD TALKS WITH HIM. HE'S NOT GOING TO BE ATTACKING A. NATOTO TERRITORY. >> Reporter: SUPREME COURT. EARLIER THIS WEEK RULED ON MAIL. IN BALLOTS AND THERE ARE STATES. LIKE NORTH CAROLINA THAT HAVE. BALLOTS THAT GO OUT NEXT WEEK. HOW ARE STATES SUPPOSED TO. IMPLEMENT THIS? >> President Trump: NORTH CAROLINA IS GREAT. IT'S A GREAT PLACE. I WON AT GOLF THREE TIMES PER. YEAR THEY DO SOME MAIL IN. BALLOTS. THEY RULED ON THE LEGITIMACY AND. THE WAY WE WANT TO MAKE THEM.

LEGITIMATE AND IT WAS A GREAT. RULING FOR THE REPUBLICANS. >> Reporter: DELIVER A WARNING. TO RUSSIA NOT TO ATTACK NATO. TERRITORY. >> President Trump: I DON'T. WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT. >> Reporter: WHAT'S YOUR. REACTION TO THE AMERICANS. MISSING IN NEPAL? >> President Trump: IT'S. TERRIBLE. WE HAVE OFFERED ANY HELP THEY. NEED. I WE DON'T HAVE A VERY GOOD.

RELATIONSHIP WITH NEPAL AND THAT. WAS A BRUTAL DEATH THAT WAS MUD. AND WATER, NOBODY'S EVER SEEN. ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT. POWERFUL, STRONG, WELL BUILT. BUILDINGS WERE WIPED OUT LIKE. THEY WERE TOOTHPICKS. IT'S A TERRIBLE THING. WE ARE SENDING AID AND WE HAVE. SPOKEN TO THE LEADERSHIP AND WE. WILL LET THEM KNOW, ANYTHING. THEY WANT. THERE WERE 50, MAYBE 60. AMERICANS. WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN A FULL LIST.

BUT HOPEFULLY THEY'RE OKAY BUT. THAT LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING THAT. PEOPLE WILL NOT BE -- SOMEBODY. WILL BE LOST UNFORTUNATELY. [REPORTERS CLAMORING]. >> Reporter: THERE'S REPORTS. THAT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS MEETING. WITH THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN TO. TALK ABOUT A NUCLEAR AGREEMENT. IS THERE CONCERN IN THE. ADMINISTRATION AND THE. WHITE HOUSE THAT THESE COUNTRIES. AREN'T TAKING ECONOMIC D-DAY. SERIOUSLY? THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE DOING. BUSINESS? >> President Trump: IRAN, THEY.

ARE NOT PAYING THEIR TROOPS. THEY ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE. THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE CAPACITY. LAST NIGHT WE TOOK 24 BOATS. THROUGH THE STRAIT. WE ARE TAKING THEM THROUGH ALL. THE TIME. WE SAY IT VERY OPENLY. IT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE FINISHED. WITH THE MILITARY BUT THE STRAIT. IS OPEN AS YOU KNOW, THE STRAIT. OF HORMUZ IS OPEN. WE HAVE CONTROL. WE HAVE THE BLOCKADE. IRAN IS NOT GETTING ANYTHING, NOTHING IS GOING THROUGH, NOT. ONE SHIP. >> Reporter: PUNISH PUTIN OR.

RUSSIA? >> Reporter: IT DEPENDS. SO FAR I THINK RUSSIA HAS. BEHAVED QUITITE WELL HAVING TO O. WITH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND FOR. EVERYTHING THEY DO, WE DO ALSO. PEOPLE SAY WHAT ABOUT CHINA, WHAT ABOUT CHINA? WE SPY ON THEM TOO. >> Reporter: WHY NOT SANCTION. CHINESE BANKS WHO ARE DOING. BUSINESS? >> President Trump: WHWHO SAID. I'M NOT? YOU SAID WHY NOT. WHO SAID I'M NOT? YOU DON'T KNOW IF I'M DOING IT. I DON'T HAVE TO ANNOUNCE. EVERYTHING, DO I?

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]. >> Reporter: ABOUT OTHER. LEADERS YOU'VE SPOKEN TO ABOUT. THIS PRESSURE CAMPAIGN TO GET. THEM TO CUT TIES WITH IRAN? >> President Trump: ABOUT. IRAN? THERE'S NOT A LOT TO SPEAK TO. WE DON'T WANT TO SPEAK TO THEM. WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO MEET OR. ANYTHING. THE STRAIT IS OPEN. WE ARE TAKING A LOT OF BOATS, MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF BARRELS. OF OIL ARE COMING OUT OF THE. STRAIT EVERY DAY. OTHER COUNTRIES WILL RECOGNIZE. THAT. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY SHOOT. SOME, THEY PUT SOME SHOTS OUT.

WE TOTALLY CLEARED THE STRAIT. WE HAVE THE BEST MINESWEEPERS IN. THE WORLD. THEY ARE UNDERWATER MINESWEEPERS. AND WE'VE TOTALLY CLEARED THE. STRAIT OF MINES AND WE ARE. WATCHING VERY CLOSELY THROUGH. SPACE FORCE WHICH IS ONE OF MY. THINGS, ONE OF MY MANY THINGS. WE ARE WATCHING, WE SEE EVERY. INCH OF THE STRAIT AND ANY BOAT. GOES IN WITH A MINE, WE SEE IT. AND WE TAKE IT OUT. WE HAVE TAKEN OUT TWO OF THEM. THANK YOU. I WILL BE GOING TO TEXAS AND. WE'RE WORKING VERY HARD BUT WE. WANT TO WIN THAT RACE. RUNNING AGAINST A MAN WHO SHOULD.

NEVER BE -- WE HAVE A VERY GOOD. CANDIDATE, KEN PAXTON AND HE'S. RUNNING AGAINST TELE-FREAKO. THAT'S NOT A MAN WHO REPRESENTS. THE VALUES OF TEXAS. I'M GOING TO HELP KEN PAXTON AND. SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN TEXAS. I HAVE THE ALL TIME HIGHEST VOTE. IN THE HISTORY OF TEXAS ALSO. APPEARED I'M GOING TO SPEND SOME. TIME THERE. SOME OF YOU ARE GOING WITH ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

LAKE ONTARIO FORMERLY KNOWN. APPARENTLY NOW AS LAKE ONTARIO, NOW LAKE AMERICA AND WHAT HE. VERY CLEARLY PRESENTED AS THE. RESULT OF THIS TRADE WAR. >> John: ALTHOUGH UNLIKE THE. POTOMAC RIVER WHICH RESIDES. WHOLLY IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. AS IT PASSES THROUGH VIRGINIA, THE BORDER IS RIGHT ON THE.

VIRGINIA SIDE OF THE SHORE, THE. BORDER BETWEEN CANADA AND THE. UNITED STATES RUNS RIGHT DOWN. THE VERY CENTER OF LAKE ONTARIO. THE PRESIDENT COULD CALL IT. LAKE AMERICA IF HE WANTS BUT I'M. SURE THAT IN CANADA THEY'LL. CONTINUE TO CALL IT. LAKE ONTARIO. >> Jacqui: I THINK THEY'LL. PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. ABOUT THAT. >> John: THE PRESIDENT SAID. THE MAJORITY OF THE WATER LIES. WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. I GUESS IF YOU WERE TO TAKE. TOTAL VOLUME THAT'S TRUE. THE SURFACE AREA IS MOSTLY IN. CANADA. 51-49. BUT HE WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID. THE DEEPEST PART OF THE LAKE IS. IN THE UNITED STATES WHICH IS.

THE ROCHESTER BASIN. IS ABOUT 800 FEET DEEP. >> John: TAKE IT FROM THE. RESIDENT CANADIAN. >> John: I SPENT A LOT OF TIME. ON LAKE ONTARIO IN MY 20s. I SAILED AROUND THE LAKE MANY. TIMES. >> Jacqui: HE SAID THE. CANADIANS WERE WORSE TRADING. PARTNERS THAN THE CHINESE SO I. THINK THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF. TENSION THER.
