Iceland summons US ambassador over provocative Trump map

Iceland has summoned the United States ambassador to express concern over a map circulated by former President Donald Trump that depicted Greenland as part of the US. The Icelandic government described the map as provocative, highlighting tensions over territorial representation.

The map, which showed Greenland under the US flag, was seen as a challenge to Iceland's sovereignty. Iceland's foreign minister emphasized that Greenland is neither nor will be a colony or protectorate of any foreign country. "Proudly we are a free, independent, and sovereign nation," the minister said, asserting the country's status. The government made clear its position regarding territorial ambitions that have strained relations with neighbouring countries.
