President Donald Trump appeared to have confused Greenland and Iceland multiple times during his speech at Davos on January 21, 2026. Following the mix-up, it sparked a meme-fest on the internet, among them was Iceland Cricket's X account that countered Trump's confusion with humor.

Following Trump's speech, the country’s official cricket team account clarified on X that Iceland is 'volcanic rock in the north Atlantic surrounded by insignificant islands that don’t play cricket.'

However, it seems like the confusion is still there, as the official cricket team's account once again took to X to clear any confusion regarding Greenland and Iceland. This time, they even shared a picture of a map to make it easier to point out the difference.

After Trump's speech, the official account retweeted Trump's speech, and sarcastically wrote that the president must have seen their last week's tweet, where they said Venezuela has oil, Greenland has rare Earth minerals, whereas Iceland only has volcanoes, glaciers, and very average cricketers.  Additionally, they added sarcastically that the confusion would be 'economically damaging.'
