Zollstreit: Trump postet Landkarte mit Grönland, Island, Kanada und Mexiko als Teil der USA

On February 3rd, 2023, US President Donald Trump posted a map on his Truth Social platform showing Greenland, Iceland, Canada, and Mexico as part of the United States. The map, which featured the country name "United States of America," did not name any other countries. Canada's President, Justin Trudeau, criticized Trump's actions, stating that Canada is not a colony or protectorate of any foreign nation.

Mexico's President, Claudia Sheinbaum, also responded to Trump's post, emphasizing that Mexico is a sovereign, independent nation. Trump has previously hinted at the possibility of annexing Canada and buying Greenland, which is currently under Danish control.
