President Donald Trump has resumed his push for US control of Greenland, a strategic location for natural resources and military presence. Gov. Jeff Landry, Trump’s special envoy to Greenland, shared his priorities for a stronger American presence in the region.
Landry’s Priorities
Landry’s priorities include establishing shipping routes and direct commercial flights between the US and Greenland, a joint investment fund, and expanding educational, cultural, and public diplomacy exchanges. He also emphasized the importance of sending more US military personnel to Greenland to repopulate US bases.
Trump’s push for Greenland control has been met with resistance from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who stated that Denmark is ready to defend every inch of NATO, including its own territory.
