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

SAPO8 September 2026 at 13:26

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, shared on social media an image of a world map where the US flag appears over a large part of North American territory, extending to cover not only Mexico, but also Canada, the Caribbean and even Iceland.

Trump offered no explanation when publishing the image, leaving his followers without understanding the meaning or intention behind the post.

This share comes after Trump publicly suggested changing the name of New Mexico to "New America," an idea that generated controversy and which now appears to be related to the map publication.

The image reflects the President's expansionist rhetoric, which has been defending territorial expansion of the United States, although details about how or when this could happen were not specified in the post.
