Amid calls for Canadians to boycott US travel and exports, Trump signs an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America, ignoring the indigenous monicker that predates both settlers and additionally EO aimed at securing America’s bulk-power system, declaring a national emergency to protect the electrical grid by prohibiting non-domestic equipment systems, just as he has restricted foreign built WiFi routers and robots. 
Moreover, Trump dismisses concerns over a Russian provocation on NATO territory. Moscow threatens the UK following Andy Burnham’s pledging to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles. After mediation from Qatar, Iran’s security chief drafts a list of conditions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz—adding that the US must first take practical steps to fulfils demands before the waterway is cleared for maritime traffic.
