Trump naming special envoy to Greenland angers Denmark, prompting it to call in U.S. ambassador
Denmark says it will summon the U.S. ambassador after President Trump appointed a special envoy to Greenland, the Danish autonomous territory he has often expressed interest in.
“We have to have it,” Trump told reporters when asked about his decision to name Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as special envoy to Greenland. In his own statement about his new role, Landry explicitly stated that his goal is to “make Greenland a part of the U.S.”
Denmark’s foreign minister said he was “deeply upset” by President Donald Trump’s announcement that he is naming Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry a special envoy to Greenland.
