Former US President Donald Trump recently posted a series of digitally altered images on his Truth Social platform, showcasing an expanded United States map that controversially includes Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela as US territories. One prominent image depicts Trump seated with several European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, with the altered map visible in the background.

Another post by Trump featured an image of himself alongside Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, symbolically planting a US flag on Greenland, accompanied by a sign reading "Greenland US Territory Est 2026." These posts are not isolated incidents but rather a continuation of Trump's past rhetoric and ambitions regarding territorial expansion, particularly his long-standing interest in acquiring Greenland and his previous suggestions about Canada becoming the 51st US state.

The news highlights ongoing geopolitical tensions and the potential challenges to international norms and alliances.
