Iceland\u2019s Foreign Minister, Torgurdur Katr\u00edn Gunnarsd\u00f3ttir, summoned US Ambassador Billy Long to seek an explanation. The Icelandic Foreign Ministry stated that the country\u2019s position had been made clear: they regard Trump\u2019s post as <strong data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"790\">\u00abcompletely out of place\u00bb<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trump posted an unusual map on Truth Social.<\/li>\n<li>Iceland ended up

inappropriate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-section-id=\"1he2iuv\" data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1214\">What was on Trump\u2019s map?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1406\">In the image released by the US President, <strong data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1405\">The US flag was flown across the United States, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1408\" data-end=\"1496\">The entire marked area bore a common inscription \u2014 <strong data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1495\">\u00abUnited States of America\u00bb<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1498\" data-end=\"1736\">Trump posted a picture on his social media platform, Truth Social <strong data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1582\">without any explanation<\/strong>, so it is not known for certain whether the post was a political statement, a joke or a provocative visual message.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1738\" data-end=\"1829\">It was the very inclusion of Iceland on such a map that prompted an official diplomatic response from Reykjav\u00edk.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1xu3sd7\" data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"1869\">Iceland has summoned the new US ambassador<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1871\" data-end=\"1980\">Iceland\u2019s Foreign Minister, Torgurdur Katr\u00edn Gunnarsd\u00f3ttir, summoned the US Ambassador for talks <strong data-start=\"1964\" data-end=\"1979\">Billy Longa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1982\" data-end=\"2068\">The diplomat only officially took up his post as US Ambassador to Iceland last month.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2070\" data-end=\"2246\">According to RUV, the Icelandic side made it clear during the meeting that it considered the US President\u2019s post to be unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2248\" data-end=\"2459\">The US diplomatic missions in Copenhagen and Reykjav\u00edk, as well as the US Consulate in Nuuk, have not publicly commented on the situation.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1tb15ss\" data-start=\"2461\" data-end=\"2497\">Against the backdrop of Trump\u2019s comments on Greenland<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2499\" data-end=\"2582\">The story attracted particular attention because of previous <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/world\/grendlandiya-investitsiyi-tramp\/\">statements<\/a> Trump on <strong data-start=\"2567\" data-end=\"2581\">Greenland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2584\" data-end=\"2763\">In recent years, the US President has repeatedly stated that the US needs to gain control of the island, which is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2765\" data-end=\"2970\">These statements have already caused tension between Washington and Copenhagen \u2014 two of NATO\u2019s founding members \u2014 and have raised concerns in other European capitals.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2972\" data-end=\"3166\">The new map went much further: it now showed not only Greenland but also <strong data-start=\"3076\" data-end=\"3165\">Iceland, Canada, Mexico and much of Central America and the Caribbean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"e4lvvi\" data-start=\"3168\" data-end=\"3222\">The EU has just announced major investments in Greenland<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3224\" data-end=\"3464\">It is telling that Trump\u2019s post appeared <strong data-start=\"3265\" data-end=\"3357\">a few hours after the European Commission announced a \u20ac200 million investment in Greenland<\/strong> during the visit of the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3466\" data-end=\"3627\">Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen subsequently reiterated that the authorities and people of Greenland had repeatedly stated that they did not wish to become part of the United States.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3629\" data-end=\"3727\">Previously, the island\u2019s authorities had also publicly ruled out the possibility of it coming under US control.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"5rb08j\" data-start=\"3729\" data-end=\"3773\">Iceland has also been reviewing its relations with the EU<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3775\" data-end=\"3856\">The debate surrounding Washington\u2019s Arctic policy is also significant for Iceland itself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3858\" data-end=\"4013\">In August, the country held <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/politics\/groenlandiia-ne-khoche-buty-ssha\/\">referendum<\/a> regarding a possible <strong data-start=\"3908\" data-end=\"3968\">the resumption of negotiations on accession to the European Union<\/strong>, but the voters opposed this move.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4015\" data-end=\"4325\">Reuters notes that during the campaign, supporters of closer ties with the EU cited the reliability of the US as a partner \u2013 in light of Trump\u2019s stance on Greenland \u2013 as one of their arguments. At the same time, analysts believed that the result of the vote was primarily influenced by domestic economic issues.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4327\" data-end=\"4431\">The current diplomatic incident may once again intensify the debate in Iceland about relations with the US and Europe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0406\u0441\u043b\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0456\u044f
