News From a news agency Context piece
  • Donald Trump shared a map on Truth Social depicting the United States as including Greenland, Canada, Mexico, several Caribbean and Central American countries, and Iceland.
  • Honduras appears as a blank area on the map, after Nasry Asfura, a corruption-accused businessman, won its presidency last autumn following Trump’s threat to cut aid if he lost.

Donald Trump has shared a new map on Truth Social showing a dramatically expanded United States. This time, Iceland is included.

The map Trump posted on Monday depicts Greenland, Canada and Mexico as part of what appears to be his vision for a future United States. It also includes Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua.

Iceland’s appearance is described as surprising. Honduras, by contrast, is left as a white spot. Nasry Asfura, a businessman accused of corruption, secured the Honduran presidency last autumn after Trump threatened to cut all aid if Asfura did not win.
