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.


This is a developing story and will be updated.

2. Hey Media:

You were all over Joe Biden's supposed dementia, but can see batshit crazy Trump stuff like this and remain silent.

[travelingthrulife]

16. But Biden had a bad debate (squawk! squawk!!)

[MissHoneychurch]

3. I'm kinda surprised

that he didn't post an AI-picture with those European leaders bowing to him.

And I want to remind everybody of this picture from 2018

4. Trump Cult members will say Trump is 'just kidding; you just don't get Trump.'

That Trump is 'just trolling the libs.’

[sleroy49]

14. I don't know ...

If you're brave enough to head on over to Twitter, the cult is totally on board with taking Greenland. They think he's serious and want to go along for the ride.

[róisín_dubh]

21. Well, they can take up arms then...

I'd love to see Cletus and his mates from bumfucknowhere MAGALAND against Europe's special forces. I used to know a guy who was in the Dutch special forces and...well most MAGATs would shit their pants at the mere sight of him.

I mean, have these snivelling little Nazis seen most normal police officers over here?

The Trump image isn't "seemingly AI-edited", but "clearly AI-edited".

Egads. That's probably a post on Reddit's /politicalhumor

[IcyPeas]

6. Mexico is going to feel rejected

[barbtries]

8. it's full of brown people.

[travelingthrulife]

18. I suspect their plan for Mexico is carpet bombing. At least according to my MAGA brother

In their fevered brains, there are bands of thieving, murdering banditos running ransack all across Mexico.

Have they ever been there? Oh, hell no! Just like the border.

[kerouac2]

7. They are playing a game of risk

And the whole world is going to lose.

[slightlv]

22. The one board game I absolutely detested!

Hated it so much, I'd move to the front room and put my music and tuned it all out.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Clearly evidence of his insanity.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

10. In order to be fully protected, we need to seize more land on the Arctic Ocean:

After Greenland, we need Iceland, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Finland. And of course we should annex Mexico.

There. Move over, Stephen Miller, you are just not mean enough. Let this Bozo show you how it's done!

Grrr.

[Bengus81]

11. Start blaming Republicans in Congress as much if not MORE than Trump for this madness

They keep their GD heads down hoping no one blames them for this shit show. Dems need to POUND on them 24/7 even more than Trump for going along with everything this insane NAZI is doing.

Let's see them deny it............

[liberalla]

13. Total agreement here! Where are the fucking republicans????

The one time they could be helpful -- they go poof!
It is time to POUND THEM as you say.

[travelingthrulife]

20. Daily contact. Even if your rep is useless GOP.

[GreenWave]

12. Canada 10 provinces 3 territories. Venezuela has 23 states. Any chance any Senators will be GOP?

[SCantiGOP]

17. Except colonies don't get to vote

That was the reason for the whole “No taxation without representation “ argument 250 years ago.

[travelingthrulife]

15. Hey Republicans! Keep letting that psychopath dig our hole deeper and deeper.

[MissouriDem47]

19. How Childish

[orangecrush]

23. JHFC

[Torchlight]

24. As Americans, we'll spend the next three generations

apologizing to the world for the next three years. He's barking at the moon mad and his idiot fan base expects the moon to react. An angry, petulant man-child as leader of the nation... how far we've devolved.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

25. Not outlined in gold? He must be low on paint.

[C_U_L8R]

26. The original unedited map...

Oh wait, that's Putin's inspiration map.

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Yeah that's totally normal for a U.S. "President." He's a threat to the free world. But not to Vlad. n/t

[Botany]

28. He is bat shit crazy. Look @ the gold crap in the Oval Office, the A.I. image, and his crazy ideas.*

Trump recently told reporters that European allies would not "push back too much" on his plans to acquire Greenland, adding, "We have to have it."

Denmark is starting to sell off their share of the U.S. debt in T-bills, bonds, and government securities
other European nations along with Japan, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, and Canada
would do the same and that would crash the U.S. economy. They woul also stop trade and recall their
ambassadors.

*. Even the Republicans must know he is insane.

[maxsolomon]

29. Isn't he hilarious? Are you not entertained?

Look out, he's crazy! We'd better come up with something to placate him!

Send him a 747! An Award! Teenage girls!

Got hilf uns.

[Clouds Passing]

30. They left out a few countries. I'm sure they"ll color in the blanks soon.

[electric_blue68]

31. How "fitting" this shows up on the 1 year annivesary of his 2nd term...

The madness of "King" donny!
GHADS!!!

[generalbetrayus]

32. Certifiably insane he is.

"We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that!"
