Special Envoy to Greenland appointed

Trump appoints Jeff Landry as special envoy to Greenland

President Trump announced Sunday evening he was appointing Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as special envoy to Greenland — drawing warnings from the Danish government over continued US interest in annexing the world’s largest island.

“Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security, and will strongly advance our Country’s Interests for the Safety, Security and Survival of our Allies, and indeed, the World,” Trump announced in appointing Landry.

Landry responded: “It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the US.”

Landry, 54, added that he would remain as governor in addition to his new role. The former congressman and state attorney general was elected the Pelican State’s chief executive in 2023.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said in a brief statement that Landry’s appointment “confirms the continued American interest in Greenland.”
