Iceland Summons US Ambassador Over Trump’s Map Showing Island Under US Flag
President Donald Trump shared an uncaptioned map on Truth Social depicting the United States flag covering much of North America, including Iceland, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and parts of the Caribbean. Iceland summoned the newly appointed US ambassador to formally protest, deeming the post inappropriate. The map follows Trump's previous suggestions about US control over Greenland and Canada, which have raised diplomatic tensions with Denmark and other countries. The post coincided with recent European investments in Greenland and Iceland's recent referendum rejecting EU membership talks.
