President Donald Trump published a map on Truth Social showing an expanded United States that includes Greenland, Iceland, and Canada, according to posts reviewed on Tuesday, Sept. 8. The digital posts represent a continuation of a social media tirade involving geographic boundary redraws shared across the platform.
Expanded Territorial Vision on Truth Social
The map shared by President Trump on Monday outlines a sweeping territorial vision for a future United States. According to the image published on Truth Social, the proposed expansion encompasses not only neighboring Canada and Mexico, but also Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Bahamas, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Iceland.
Honduras stands out on the map as a white space, according to the source material. Last autumn, Nasry Asfura, a businessman facing corruption accusations, secured the Honduran presidency. That political outcome followed threats from Trump to cut off all foreign aid unless Asfura won the election, according to reported events.
Renaming Campaigns Across Digital Platforms
The inclusion of Iceland forms part of a broader series of map modifications posted by Trump over a 24-hour window. The president shared seven different maps on Truth Social that rename the state of New Mexico to “New America,” according to platform data.
These adjustments follow previous renaming initiatives by the administration. Trump previously altered the designation of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” and Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” according to public records.
Did you know? The designation “New America” originated as an internet meme before being adopted into the recent series of social media posts by President Trump, according to public tracking.
Elected officials have responded to the geography edits online. “Three things I always am going to call by their real names: The Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario and New Mexico,” Democratic Senator Martin Heinrich wrote on Twitter.
