    There are several treaties with Canada ending the War of 1812. They include things like limits on the size of weapons on naval vessels that can be on the Great Lakes. I suspect that it will also require Congress to reauthorize the Great Lakes Compact.

    They have to be authorized by Congress:

    Whereas before the Great Lakes acronym was "HOMES", now it's "SHAME"!

    Can’t wait to see what good names he thinks we should call the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean!

        How about Ocean of Trumpery.

        That has a nice ring to it.

        Fortunately the tide turns in the ocean :)

    What would really show the Canadians who's boss would be if Trump put a blue pool liner in the American half.
