Denmark to summon US ambassador over Greenland envoy appointment

Denmark has condemned Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry’s remarks about making Greenland part of the US as “totally unacceptable,” prompting the Danish Foreign Minister to summon the US ambassador for an explanation. This follows President Trump’s controversial appointment of Landry as a special envoy to Greenland, amid ongoing tensions over US interests in the resource-rich territory. Both Denmark and Greenland’s leaders have firmly stated that the island is not for sale and should determine its own future. Greenland’s population largely favors independence from Denmark and opposes becoming part of the US.
