US President Donald Trump has sparked fury by posting a map that seemingly showed Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Mexico and the Caribbean as part of the United States.

n

Monday’s post — the latest of several from Trump with an outlandish territorial design — came amid a flurry of around 100 messages on his Truth Social platform over the Labor Day weekend.

n

Iceland responded to the new map post on Tuesday, announcing that it had summoned the US ambassador to make it clear that the image was “wholly inappropriate.”

n

The map showed the US, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Mexico and the Caribbean colored in with the US flag.

n

The entire landmass was labelled “United States of America” and the image was posted without any further explanation.

n

Trump unleashed his avalanche of posts at breakneck pace — around 60 on Sunday alone and 37 in 10 hours on Monday, according to an AFP count, relying as he often does on artificial intelligence.

n

Trump also posted a cartoon of himself playing in an ice hockey match against Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

n

In the image, Trump tells Carney, who is lying on the ice: “Get up governor.”

n

Canada is locked in a trade war in Washington, with retaliatory tariffs on billions of dollars in US products taking effect Tuesday.

n

Trump has also made insistent claims that Canada should become the 51st US state.

n

In another post, an image showed Trump recieving George Washington in the Oval Office.
