Iceland summons US ambassador after Trump's provocative map

oglobo8 September 2026 at 20:15

Iceland summoned the United States ambassador for a formal protest after American President Donald Trump published a provocative map on the Truth Social network. In the map, the US flag appears overlaid on the territories of Iceland, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean countries. The post contained no written commentary.

The Icelandic government condemned the publication as an insult to Icelanders, Canadians, and Greenlanders. Iceland's Prime Minister, Kristrun Frostadottir, said there is nothing funny or normal about mocking the sovereignty of nations.

The ambassador's summons took place one day after the map was published. Icelanders have shown caution regarding Trump's previous statements about acquiring Greenland, a territory belonging to Denmark, and other expansionist intentions.

Gilmar questions Moraes' decision and points to plenary competence to explain interruption of trial on removal of Andrei

Minister Gilmar Mendes, of the STF, questioned the competence of the Second Chamber to analyze the decision of Minister André Mendonça that determined the preventive removal of the director-general of the Federal Police, Andrei Rodrigues, and the director of Police Intelligence. To justify the view request that suspended the trial, Gilmar questioned the possibility that the removal could have been determined from a request by a political party, arguing that the measure occurred in "apparent contrariness" to the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Internal Rules of the STF, which establish requirements arising from the accusatory system.
