Trump Posts Map Appearing to Show North America, Other Territories as Part of US
The image followed criticism of a New Mexico renaming graphic, and Reuters said Trump has used maps and place names in political messaging.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump shared a map on Truth Social depicting the United States flag covering large portions of North America, including Canada, Mexico, and Greenland.
- The post followed a graphic from September 2, 2026, appearing to rename New Mexico as 'New America,' drawing sharp criticism from state officials without explanation from Trump.
- New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham wrote the state's name 'isn't up for debate,' while Representative Melanie Stansbury and Senator Martin Heinrich rejected the renaming, emphasizing they are New Mexicans.
- Trump previously ordered federal agencies on August 27 to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America,' while maintaining pressure on Cuba and advocating for US control of Greenland.
- The White House has not announced any formal process to change state or territorial names, and no evidence suggests these graphics reflect actual shifts in United States foreign policy.
