Trump envoy says he plans to visit Greenland in March

Jeff Landry aims to advance talks on Greenland's strategic value amid U.S. and European military presence; a bipartisan delegation backs Denmark's stance, officials said.

  • On Jan 16, 2026, Donald Trump's special envoy to Greenland said he plans to visit the Danish territory in March to pursue a deal and expects Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance to follow up.
  • Because of its strategic location, U.S. officials view Greenland as vital to security and mineral supply, a point highlighted by Italy's Arctic policy noting new sea routes and energy resources.
  • Led by Senator Chris Coons, the U.S. delegation met Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic counterpart Jens-Frederik Nielsen in Copenhagen, with Shaheen saying `And I believe that because institutions are already acting. On both sides of the aisle in Congress, there is overwhelming support for NATO and for the US-Danish relationship`.
