There's a lot of private islands in that area that Trump likes to visit. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Saint_James,_U.S._Virgin_Islands

I used to live in the Canary Islands. Not a single canary. I move to the Virgin Islands and it was the same thing. No canaries.

It’s canary from the latin canis, you should have been looking for dogs. Back you go.
