Donald Trump News: US President Donald Trump shared a new map of the United States in a post on Truth Social. This new map shows Canada, Venezuela, and Greenland as part of the United States. Furthermore, Trump also posted a photo of himself planting the American flag in Greenland. These two posts have caused a stir worldwide.
Donald Trump News: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (January 20) posted a new map of the United States of America (USA) on social media. It shows Canada, Venezuela, and Greenland as part of US territory. The map appears to be created by AI. Trump posted it on his “Truth Social” platform. This comes amid a war of words with his European allies over his attempted annexation of Greenland.
In this post, Trump is seen sitting inside the Oval Office. He is accompanied by NATO leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and others. Shortly after sharing the new US map, Trump posted another photo.
In it, Trump himself was seen planting the USA flag in Greenland, along with US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The accompanying message was “Greenland US Territory Est 2026.” After coming to power last year, Trump had offered Canada to become the 51st state of the USA. However, the Canadian government rejected this offer, sparking a bitter trade war between the two neighboring countries.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has linked his aggressive stance on Greenland to the decision to deny him the Nobel Peace Prize last year. In a message released on Monday, Trump told the Norwegian prime minister that he no longer felt compelled to focus solely on peace.
On Saturday, Trump announced that a 10 percent tariff would be imposed starting in February on goods from Denmark and eight countries that support Greenland. These countries strongly opposed the move. Many longtime US allies maintain that Greenland is not for sale. But they encouraged Washington to discuss a solution.
In a statement on social media, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the bloc has no interest in starting a war but will stick to its position. The White House has not ruled out the possibility of forcibly seizing the strategic Arctic island. When Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen was asked on Monday whether Trump might invade Greenland, he said, “You can’t rule out any possibility until the president himself makes a decision.”
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also attempted to defuse tensions on Monday. He said, “I think this can and should be resolved through peaceful dialogue.” He also said he did not anticipate military action. The US threats are being strongly opposed in Greenland.
Meanwhile, Greenland’s Minister of Trade, Minerals, Energy and Justice, Naja Nathanielsen, told the Associated Press that she was impressed by the quick response of allies to the tariff threat. She said it shows that countries understand this issue is more serious than just Greenland’s.
In a message to the Norwegian leader, Trump cited the Nobel Prize as a reason for escalating tensions. The government released excerpts of the message Trump sent to Gahr Storey, which read, “Given that your country did not award me the Nobel Peace Prize despite having prevented more than eight wars, I no longer feel any compulsion to focus solely on peace.” He said the world would not be safe until we had complete control over Greenland.
