The rogue maps of the world
Manage episode 481166564 series 2902428
On the day of his second inauguration, Donald Trump pulled out his big black Sharpie and scribbled out the Gulf of Mexico, renaming it the 'Gulf of America'. Restoring Names that Honour American Greatness was the title of his executive order. Donald Trump’s fantasy maps – from annexing Canada and Greenland, to claiming the Panama Canal– have been widely ridiculed. But Trump is one of a number of world leaders challenging the cartographic status quo.
