Donald Trump seems more determined than ever to make the Arctic island of Greenland a US territory. In two posts made on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump is shown “holding” the American flag and preparing to plant it on Greenland soil. In the same photo with him are US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, while a sign reads “Greenland, US territory by 2026”. However, the photo was generated by artificial intelligence.
Trump also shared a photo of US Marines from Iwo Jima, also planting the American flag.
While in the second photo posted this Tuesday, Trump "teases" European leaders, after a meeting they held about Ukraine in August 2025, which was then commented on as a photo of the "teacher", the American president, with his "students".
Then attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron, Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
In the version of the controversial photo published by Trump, a map appears with the territories belonging to the US with Greenland painted as part of the US, while the same thing happens with Canada, which is also "dressed" with the American flag.
Even earlier, Trump has proposed that Canada become the 51st state of the US. While the imposition of trade tariffs also caused clashes between Washington and Ottawa.
