Iceland Summons US Ambassador Over Trump's Map
The Icelandic Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the recall of the American ambassador after a photo posted by former President Donald Trump circulated, showing a map suggesting that Iceland is part of the United States. The map depicted the island in the colors of the American flag, along with other countries such as Canada, Greenland, and Mexico. The Icelandic government described the image as extremely inappropriate and expressed their anger over its content, considering it a disrespect to the country's sovereignty. This step comes as an official protest against the image, which provoked widespread discontent within the country, and involved delivering a clear message to the U.S. ambassador warning against such actions and the negative impact they have on bilateral relations.
