Iceland’s government summoned U.S. Ambassador Billy Long to formally protest a social media post by President Trump showing the American flag covering Iceland, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean states. Prime Minister Kristrun Frostadottir of Iceland called the post an "insult to Icelanders, Canadians, Greenlanders" and said "there is nothing funny or normal about making fun of the sovereignty of states" Eirikur Bergmann, a politics professor at Bifrost University in Iceland, stated that Icelanders now see the U.S. as an "intimidator" rather than a defender Foreign Minister Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir emphasized that the image was "wholly inappropriate" and that while officials advised not taking Trump literally, they must take him seriously The post heightened national anxiety after Iceland recently voted against exploring EU membership, with many fearing loss of sovereignty amid Arctic superpower tensions Egill Bjarnason contributed reporting from Husavik, in northern Iceland
