Trump posted multiple Truth Social messages on Saturday morning, including a map reading “United States of the Middle East” with America’s flag over Iran. Iran has been engaged in ongoing military conflict with the United States and Israel since late February. Trump has repeatedly threatened to target Iranian infrastructure and other measures if a long-term agreement is not reached. Iran has continued targeting and charging tolls to ships in the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world’s oil supply moves. Trump’s weekend schedule shifted, with him staying at the White House for a planned speech in New York and skipping his son Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding. He previously said he was an hour away from ordering new strikes on Iran before negotiations continued. He also posted a Greenland-related throwback image tied to his stated desire for the United States to absorb Greenland.
"Trump posted a map to Truth Social that read: United States of the Middle East? The map included America's stars and stripes over Iran, which has been engaged in an ongoing military conflict with the United States and Israel since late February."
"During a press conference this week, Trump said he was just an hour away from ordering new strikes on Iran before he was convinced to let negotiations continue. I was an hour away. We were all set to go. You're talking about yesterday? We were going to be striking very it would have been happening right now. Yeah, it was all done. The boats, the ships were all loaded. They were all loaded to the brim and we were all set to start, he said."
"Trump has threatened many times to target the country's infrastructure and more if a long-term agreement is not reached. Iran has continued targeting and charging tolls to ships in the Strait of Hormuz, where roughly 20% of the world's oil supply moves through."
"In other Saturday Truth Social posts, Trump also went with a throwback and posted an image of a giant version of his head looking over Greenland. Trump has spoken on many occasions about his desire for the United States to absorb Greenland. We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not because if we don't do it Russia or China will take over Greenland and we are not going to have Russ"
