Iceland has sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's social media post of a map that appears to show the island and several other countries covered by the American flag.
Trump posted the image on Truth Social on Monday, depicting the U.S., Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean under the Stars and Stripes flag.
The map was published without comment and came after a flurry of preceding posts suggesting that the U.S. state of New Mexico should be renamed "New America."
Iceland summoned U.S. Ambassador Billy Long over the incident, with Foreign Minister Thorgerdur Gunnarsdottir saying the meeting was necessary to "make it absolutely clear that, from our perspective, this was completely unacceptable."
Speaking at a news conference, Gunnarsdottir said that the Nordic nation of nearly 400,000 stood with Greenland over Trump's annexation threats and would not soften its position on the matter.
