Landry’s Greenland Meltdown Highlights U.S. Arctic Ambitions

Trump’s handpicked Greenland envoy Jeff Landry erupted on camera during an unofficial Nuuk visit, declaring that Greenland was “not on the map” until Trump put it there, and pressed reporters while inserting himself into meetings. Greenland and Denmark have rejected annexation or sale and stressed Greenlandic self-determination. The frosty reception and reports that Landry invited himself to events underscore tensions over the Arctic and U.S. security aims, with no hospital ships deployed and ongoing pushback from Greenland’s government.
