Jeff Landry, said after a Greenland visit that locals “love and embrace the United States” and want closer ties, even as Nuuk’s leadership and protesters are wary about increased U.S. involvement; Landry linked Greenland’s potential oil wealth—he suggested it could reach about 2 million barrels per day—to Western leverage amid the Iran crisis, noting a Arctic deal remains possible despite Trump-era pressure and mixed reactions to the new American consulate.
