Donald Trump Posts Fake US Map Including Greenland and French Caribbean Islands
The American president shared on his social network a modified map of the United States covering Canada, Greenland, Mexico and French Caribbean islands with the American flag, sparking outrage and renewed questions about his visual posts.
American President Donald Trump posted a falsified map of the United States on his social network, in which the American flag covers several foreign territories, according to information reported by France 24 in its program "Info or Intox."
In this image, the American flag extends beyond the country's official borders to encompass Canada, Greenland, Mexico, as well as French Caribbean islands, according to the same source.
This post provoked anger from some of the states and territories depicted in this representation, though France 24 did not provide details of official reactions.
The episode has also reignited, according to the outlet, public debate about the mental health of the American president, in a context marked by the frequency with which he shares visual content deemed false or misleading.
France 24 notes that this map is part of a series of controversial posts attributed to the American president, without providing at this point any official White House reaction to this particular map.
