Trump's Map-Making on Social Media Gets Response From Foreign Officials
Iceland summoned the U.S. ambassador after Trump posted a map showing the United States stretching to Greenland and Iceland.
- Over the Labor Day weekend, President Donald Trump posted a map showing the country sprawling across all of North America, including Greenland and Iceland, colored in the U.S. flag's colors.
- The post follows Trump's repeated claims about acquiring Greenland, his renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America, and suggestions that Canada should become the 51st state.
- Foreign Secretary Thorgerdur Katrín Gunnarsdóttir summoned Ambassador Billy Long, calling the map unacceptable, as officials noted Trump mistakenly named Iceland four times during recent Greenland discussions.
- Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen called the rhetoric 'disturbing,' while the European Union moved to reassure Greenland with investment promises following Trump's territorial threats.
- Tensions escalated further when Trump suggested renaming New Mexico as New America, extending his pattern of rhetoric that has left Arctic states uneasy since the year began.
