Foreign minister summons US ambassador over Trump image

Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir summoned US Ambassador Billy Long to a meeting on Monday after US President Donald Trump posted an image on Truth Social showing Iceland and Greenland as part of US territory, mbl.is reports.

The foreign minister’s assistant confirmed the meeting. Þorgerður Katrín made clear that the post was entirely inappropriate.

Trump posted the image without accompanying text or explanation. Billy Long began serving as US ambassador to Iceland this summer.
