President Donald Trump has shared an image, seemingly AI-edited, that shows him sitting alongside a map of the U.S. that includes Greenland, Canada and Venezuela as he speaks with European leaders.

The picture, which Trump posted on Truth Social, appears to be an edited version of a photograph taken when leaders—including French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen—went to Washington, D.C., in August 2025. Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment via email outside normal working hours and the government of Greenland.

Why It Matters

Since returning to office in January 2025, Trump has repeatedly remarked on annexing Canada as the 51st state. Earlier this month, he posted an image on social media that described him as the "Acting President of Venezuela," following the U.S. capture of leader Nicolás Maduro.

Trump's latest post comes amid his long-running claim that the U.S. should acquire Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory, for national security reasons. The president has declined to rule out the use of military force to gain control of the Arctic island and has threatened tariffs on European allies resistant to such a takeover.

President Donald Trump has shared an image, seemingly AI-edited, that shows him sitting alongside a map of the U.S. that includes Greenland, Canada and Venezuela as he speaks to European leaders.

The picture, posted on Truth Social on Monday night, appears to be an edited version of a photograph taken when leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, went to Washington in August 2025.

Another AI-generated image shows Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Greenland while Trump erects an American flag in the ground, next to a sign that reads: Greenland - U.S. Territory. Est. 2026."

Trump has repeatedly claimed that America should acquire Greenland for national security reasons and has declined to rule out military action if Denmark does not agree.
