Trump’s 1941 Map: Are Iceland, Azores, Canaries Next?
The US president has revived a pre-Pearl Harbor security map designating Greenland, Iceland, the Azores, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde as necessary control zones for the United States. As Trump insists Greenland must be American and tweets the historical image, geopolitical debate intensifies: mere bravado or actual plan?
The Map That Returns to 1941
The map in question was drafted by US strategists in 1941, outlining areas Washington deemed vital for hemispheric security. It includes not only Greenland but also Iceland, the Azores, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde. Trump resurfaced it on social media alongside direct threats to NATO. Analysts note that the US has already deployed soft and hard power in these regions: military bases in Greenland and the Azores, diplomatic pressure on Spain and Portugal, and growing influence in Cape Verde.
Imperialism or Geopolitical Realism?
The debate pits two currents against each other: those who see Trump as a strategist securing maritime routes and resources against Chinese advances, and those interpreting it as an attempt to recreate the mid-20th century American empire. The former argue that free trade with China hasn’t benefited the US working class, while the latter recall that the US is historically the most protectionist nation, abusa patents and closing markets when convenient. Observers note the irony: the same Trump who promised to end interventionism now threatens to annex sovereign territories.
The Debate on Free Market Effectiveness
In parallel, the discussion has shifted toward fierce criticism of free trade as a tool of domination. Arguments suggest the free market only benefits financial oligarchies and that the US has used its power to impose unequal conditions, while China builds an alternative payment and trade system in yuan. The fact that 88% of international transactions are still in dollars doesn’t hide the trend: de-dollarization is advancing, and Trump responds with an annexation map.
The lingering question is whether Europe, unable to create common defense and coherent foreign policy, can resist. Meanwhile, the Canary Islands could be the most coveted piece: strategic location, own aquifers, and a tourism-dependent economy. Some speculate about a Puerto Rico-style agreement, where sovereignty is ceded in exchange for investment. Time runs out, and Trump won’t wait.
