After a several-month hiatus from suggesting Canada could become the “51st state,” U.S. President Donald Trump posted a photo on his Truth Social platform depicting Canada as part of the United States.
The Jan. 20 post shows a photo of a meeting held in the Oval Office between Trump and various heads of European nations in August 2025, where the U.S. president was showcasing a map of the conflict in Ukraine. But the post had been doctored to show a map of North America, where American flags are overlaid on Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, and Cuba.
