Sheinbaum rebuffs Trump map: Mexico 'is not a colony of any country'
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly rejected a map published by U.S. President Donald Trump that appears to depict Mexico, Canada, Greenland, and other territories under U.S. influence. This marks a sharp rhetorical escalation in bilateral tensions, with Sheinbaum explicitly invoking colonial language to frame the dispute. The incident signals potential strain in North American diplomatic relations, though it remains largely symbolic at this stage.
