Iceland has sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's social media post of a map that appears to show the island and several other countries covered by the American flag.

Trump posted the image on Truth Social on Monday, depicting the U.S., Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean under the Stars and Stripes flag.

The map was published without comment and came after a flurry of preceding posts suggesting that the U.S. state of New Mexico should be renamed "New America."

Iceland summoned U.S. Ambassador Billy Long over the incident, with Foreign Minister Thorgerdur Gunnarsdottir saying the meeting was necessary to "make it absolutely clear that, from our perspective, this was completely unacceptable."

Speaking at a news conference, Gunnarsdottir said that the Nordic nation of nearly 400,000 stood with Greenland over Trump's annexation threats and would not soften its position on the matter.

"It is absolutely clear that this is a fundamental principle. In my view, this is not a joke, and if it is meant to be a joke, it is a very poor one," Gunnarsdottir said, according to Iceland's national broadcaster RÚV.

A White House spokesperson was not immediately available to comment when contacted by CNBC on Wednesday morning.

Obviously, everyone but MAGA has TDS and constantly reminding everyone outside of MAGA that they have TDS is really getting us somewhere.

And apparently only MAGA can discern which official statements from the President of the United States of America are trolls, which is also getting us somewhere.
