Iceland summoned the US ambassador after President Donald Trump posted a map on the Truth Social social network displaying Iceland, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean region as part of the United States. The map used US colors and flag on territories belonging to independent states. hnonline.sk ↗
Reykjavik responded with a diplomatic move toward the representative of the United States in the country. Icelandic authorities thus expressed disagreement with the depiction of the island under the American flag. The map also drew attention among other US allies, as it included extensive territory in North America and the Caribbean. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
The published image appeared at a time when relations between Washington and Canada are marked by a trade dispute. Canada has begun imposing retaliatory tariffs on selected American imports. Trump has also threatened Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier. HVG ↗
Iceland is among NATO member states and maintains security cooperation with the United States. The summons of the ambassador represents an official diplomatic response to the step taken by the American president. It is not known whether Washington directly responded to the measure taken by Icelandic authorities. idnes.cz ↗
