Trump Shares Photo of Canada, Greenland as part of U.S. in map

U.S. President Donald Trump posted an altered map that draws Canada, Greenland, Venezuela and Cuba into the United States, sparking criticism across North America. The 44‑second video, published on CBC’s site on January 20, 2026, shows Trump holding the image while standing in the Oval Office. The graphic originates from August 2025, when NATO leaders—including U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron—visited Trump in Washington. Trump has repeatedly threatened to acquire Greenland for “national security” reasons and to impose tariffs on European nations. The post has triggered diplomatic protests from Canada’s Prime Minister, Michael Carney, and heightened tensions between the U.S., Denmark, and the broader Atlantic community.
