Trump publishes map with US flag covering Mexico, Caribbean and Canada

SIC Notícias8 September 2026 at 06:17

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, published on social media an image with the US flag redesigned to include Mexico, the Caribbean and Canada, in a clear declaration of his expansionist ambitions.

During his second term, Trump has repeatedly expressed willingness to expand the territory of the United States, specifically mentioning Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, and Canada.

The article also mentions that Trump expressed interest in taking Cuba and did not rule out military intervention to achieve this goal, evidencing an expansionist stance unprecedented in contemporary international relations.

This publication comes in the context of a term marked by protectionist threats against neighboring countries and threats of imposing tariffs, an approach that has alarmed traditional allies of the United States.

Motion of censure opens new front of wear for Montenegro and rehearses OE2027 battle

Chega submitted a motion of censure against the Government of Luís Montenegro, focused on the permanence of the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, involved in various controversies. The motion will be rejected, as PS and Iniciativa Liberal announced they will vote against, but the initiative allows André Ventura's party to prolong the Executive's wear, occupy the space of the harshest opposition and try to present itself as the true alternative to AD. The debate, scheduled for September 8, serves as a dress rehearsal before the vote on the State Budget for 2027, placing pressure on PS, which, by voting against the censure, risks being associated with the defense of the Government. The motion also exposes the growing tension between the President of the Republic and the prime minister, at a time when Montenegro refuses to remove Luís Neves.
