  • Donald Trump posted a map on Truth Social showing the US flag across Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Greenland and Iceland.
  • The post appeared on the same day that the European Union, Denmark and Greenland signed a declaration on billion-dollar investment in Greenland, including critical minerals.
  • The map contained no text, but the article presents it as a renewed signal of Trump’s interest in Greenland.

Donald Trump has again signaled that he has not lost interest in Greenland and still believes the territory should effectively belong to the United States. On Tuesday, the US president posted a map on Truth Social showing the American flag spread across Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Greenland and Iceland.

The map carried no text, but its message appeared clear. The timing also drew attention: the post came on the day the European Union, Denmark and Greenland signed a joint declaration on billion-dollar investment in Greenland.

The planned investment includes critical raw materials, an area in which Trump has shown particular interest. The article links the post to that same-day agreement without reporting any accompanying statement from Trump.
