Denmark Denounces Trump’s Appointment of Greenland Envoy
On Sunday, Trump declared on his Truth Social account that Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry would serve as his special ambassador to the island, noting that he “understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security.”
Landry confirmed the appointment in a post on X, pledging to “make Greenland a part of the US.”
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen described the move as coming “out of nowhere” and “completely unacceptable,” according to remarks cited by a news channel. He added that his ministry would summon the US ambassador in Copenhagen to demand clarification.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen responded that the US decision “doesn't change anything for us at home” and emphasized that the island remains the property of its people.
Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland from Denmark dates back to his first presidential term and has continued to feature in his international rhetoric since returning to the White House in January. He has not excluded the possibility of annexing the territory.
