US EditionTrump’s newly appointed envoy to Greenland says US not looking to ‘conquer’ the Danish territory
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, appointed envoy, says the U.S. seeks dialogue with Greenlanders, not conquest, amid strategic and mineral interests, sparking diplomatic concerns from Denmark.
- On Tuesday, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, U.S. envoy to Greenland, said the administration will begin talks with residents and will not 'go in there trying to conquer anybody'.
- President Donald Trump repeatedly urged U.S. jurisdiction over Greenland and did not rule out military force, while Vice President JD Vance accused Denmark of under-investing in a Greenland military base.
- The administration announced Landry's appointment without warning to Danish officials and the Trump administration has not briefed Congress, following a report of at least three alleged influence operators linked to Trump.
- Denmark's foreign minister summoned the U.S. ambassador after Trump's announcement stirred anxiety, with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen affirming that 'Greenland's sovereignty is not up for debate'.
- Amid other foreign policy crises, the renewed Greenland debate arrives as maintaining a fragile truce in Gaza and ending Russia's war in Ukraine challenge relations with Denmark, a critical NATO ally.
