Washington, February 9: President Donald Trump has once again stirred the pot by sharing a controversial map that depicts Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela as part of the United States. This image was previously posted on January 20, 2026.
On Monday, the AI-generated mock-up was uploaded to Truth Social, showing European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, examining the graphic while Trump highlights the areas he claims to have won.
Notably, Trump did not include any caption with this post.
This image has reignited global discussions, especially in light of Trump’s past remarks about making Canada the 51st state and his interest in purchasing Greenland. He has consistently argued that Greenland is crucial for U.S. security in the Arctic amid perceived threats from Russia and China. The inclusion of Venezuela follows the recent arrest of its President, Nicolás Maduro.
Trump has previously teased about Greenland by sharing AI-generated images that show the U.S. flag planted on the island.
Earlier this month, during a black-tie dinner at the Alfalfa Club, Trump jokingly suggested that instead of attacking, the U.S. should buy Greenland.
According to a report by The Washington Post, Trump stated, “We are not going to attack Greenland. We are going to buy it. I never intended to make Greenland the 51st state. I want Canada to be the 51st state. Greenland could be the 52nd, and Venezuela the 53rd.”
Trump’s threats to make Canada the 51st state have previously angered Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. During a meeting in the Oval Office in May 2025, Carney warned Trump that Canada is not for sale and never will be. He remarked, “As you know from real estate, some places are never for sale.”
