US President Donald Trump has made global headlines since his return to the White House.
He appears to relish any opportunity to upstage, outrage -- and perhaps more importantly -- control the media narrative.
Whether it’s suggesting Canada become America’s 51st state, planning to rename the Gulf of Mexico, or threatening a military takeover of Greenland -- Trump is dominating international news.
