Map of Greenland Under US Flag Sparks Backlash After Trump Deal
President Donald Trump has announced a deal with Denmark to bolster the U.S. military presence on the island.
An image of Greenland overlaid with the United States flag has sparked outrage following President Donald Trump's announcement of a deal with Denmark. The U.S. government claims the agreement will grant "permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns." However, Orla Joelson, a strong advocate for Greenland's sovereignty, vehemently opposes the notion that the U.S. has acquired the island.
Joelson, who previously criticized Trump's suggestions that the U.S. could seize Greenland, reacted with fury at the idea that the U.S. now possesses Greenland. She expressed her disdain for the image, tweeting "this is shameless propaganda. The United States is NOT getting ownership of Greenland. Stop plastering the U.S. flag on our land as if Greenland has somehow become American territory. It hasn't.!!!"
