Iceland’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs summoned the United States ambassador after President Donald Trump posted a map on social media showing Iceland, Canada, Greenland, and other regions under the American flag and labeled as part of the United States. Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir conveyed a clear message that the post was completely inappropriate. This diplomatic friction follows Iceland’s recent national referendum on August 29, 2026, where voters narrowly rejected resuming European Union membership negotiations.
