Canadian Capital Ottawa Renames Street Bearing Trump's Name Amid Trade Dispute With Washington

Ottawa's city council, in the Canadian capital, voted to rename "Trump Avenue" at a time when both countries are locked in a sharp trade dispute, according to Sky News Arabia.

The decision comes against a backdrop of ongoing trade tensions between Ottawa and Washington, which prompted the city council to take a symbolic step by removing the name of U.S. President Donald Trump from one of the capital's streets.
