"On Friday, the White House's official X account posted an AI-generated image of President Donald Trump walking toward Greenland's flag, hand-in-hand or wing with an American flag-touting penguin, even though penguins do not live in Greenland and are found almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere. Embrace the penguin, read the post's caption. On Wednesday in Davos, the president spoke at the World Economic Forum, once again demanding that the U.S. take over Greenland, which is part of Denmark. He went on to allege that he has the framework and the concept of a deal regarding the Arctic territory, citing national security reasons."
"Notably, however, a 1951 treaty allows the U.S. to strengthen its military presence on the island, where it already maintains a base. The White House's latest promotion of AI slop and its failure to Google whether or not penguins are native to Greenland has already picked up traction on social media. Perhaps you shouldn't have dismantled the Department of Education so quickly, wrote @patriottakes on X in reference to the flub. There are no penguins in Greenland. All Penguins live in the southern hemisphere except one species from the Galapagos Islands. Perhaps you shouldn't have dismantled the Department of Education so quickly. https://t.co/aDroJeLycP PatriotTakes (@patriottakes) January 23, 2026"
"The former Canadian Minister of Defense, Jason Kenney, wrote on Friday via X that just this week, during his speech in Davos, Trump confused Iceland and Greenland multiple times, and now his staff is confusing Antarctica with Greenland The most powerful nation on Earth being run like a clown show. In the same week as his humiliating climb down on Greenland, he confused Iceland and Greenland multiple times, and now his staff is confusing Antarctica with Greenland (penguins inhabit the former, not the latter.) The most powerful nation on Earth being run like a clown show. https://t.co/CtKyuY1z3T"
The White House posted an AI-generated image showing President Donald Trump walking toward Greenland's flag accompanied by a penguin, despite penguins not inhabiting Greenland and living almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere. The image caption read "Embrace the penguin." In Davos, the president reiterated demands for the U.S. to take over Greenland, citing national security and claiming a deal framework, while a 1951 treaty already allows increased U.S. military presence and an existing base is on the island. Social media users and former officials mocked the error and noted confusion between Greenland, Iceland, and Antarctica.
