Trump's map shows Cuba under US flag
U.S. President Donald Trump released a map showing the expansion of the United States to include Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Greenland, and parts of Central America and the Caribbean, without providing any clarification or comment. This led Iceland to summon the American ambassador over the appearance of its territory within U.S. borders on the map, with Icelandic officials describing the act as inappropriate. This move comes within the context of Trump's previous positions on regional expansion, including his interest in Greenland and developments regarding the annexation of other territories, while Denmark and Greenland strongly oppose such moves. The region has also experienced tensions with Cuba, as the Cuban government denied any ongoing negotiations with Washington. Meanwhile, economic conditions have worsened due to U.S. sanctions, which increased Cuba's losses to over $8 billion in 2025, with the economy continuing to deteriorate in early 2026 as a result of the oil embargo and limited electrical operations.
