Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry Appointed as U.S. Special Envoy to Greenland

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, appointed by President Trump as U.S. special envoy to Greenland, plans to engage directly with Greenlanders rather than diplomats, including attending a dogsled race in March. Landry's approach contrasts with Trump's stated intent to act on Greenland regardless of local approval. His involvement has raised attention in Denmark, especially after comments about U.S. defense of Greenland during World War II. Landry's limited diplomatic experience and close ties to Trump highlight the political nature of the mission amid concerns from NATO allies.
