Former US President Donald Trump posted an image on Truth Social showing a map of South America with Venezuela marked as the 51st US state. The territory is colored in the American flag's colors, with the caption "51st State" nearby. The politician offered no explanation for the post, according to infohub.kz.
The post quickly drew attention on social media. Some users saw it as a joke, while others considered it another provocative publication. Trump himself did not comment on the meaning of the map, leaving the reasons for the image unexplained.
Earlier, Trump had already posted a provocative image of Iran in American flag colors. Additionally, at an Alfalfa Club dinner, he joked about the possible inclusion of Greenland and Venezuela into the United States.
