Trump's Greenland envoy Landry arrives in Nuuk
Landry said he aims to build ties and explore economic opportunities as officials in Greenland and Denmark remain wary of U.S. intentions.
- On Sunday, U.S. special envoy Jeff Landry arrived in Nuuk, Greenland, to advance President Donald Trump's goal of securing American control over the Arctic territory.
- Appointed by Trump last year, Landry's mission faces strong opposition from Danish and Greenlandic governments, which maintain that Greenland is not for sale.
- Landry and U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Kenneth Howery will attend the 'Future Greenland' business conference on May 19-20, though Business Greenland did not formally invite the envoy.
- So far, no official meetings between Landry and Greenlandic politicians have been confirmed, despite footage from public broadcaster DR showing the envoy exiting a plane in Nuuk.
- Earlier this year, Greenland, Denmark, and the United States agreed to high-level diplomatic negotiations to resolve tensions, with discussions now including potential increases in U.S. military presence.
