Trump posts map with American flag emblazoned over Canada, Greenland, Mexico
The image adds to Trump’s recent geographic posts and drew criticism from Canadian, Mexican and New Mexico officials, with no formal policy change announced.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump shared a map on Truth Social depicting the United States flag covering large portions of North America, including Canada, Mexico, and Greenland.
- The post followed a graphic from September 2, 2026, appearing to rename New Mexico as 'New America,' drawing sharp criticism from state officials without explanation from Trump.
- New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham wrote the state's name 'isn't up for debate,' while Representative Melanie Stansbury and Senator Martin Heinrich rejected the renaming, emphasizing they are New Mexicans.
- Trump previously ordered federal agencies on August 27 to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America,' while maintaining pressure on Cuba and advocating for US control of Greenland.
- The White House has not announced any formal process to change state or territorial names, and no evidence suggests these graphics reflect actual shifts in United States foreign policy.
