The Danish Foreign Ministry has summoned the U.S. Ambassador to Denmark, Ken Howery, to demand answers to comments made this past weekend by President Donald J. Trump’s recently appointed Special Envoy to Greenland, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, who publicly stated that the mission of his part-time role is to make Greenland a part of the United States. Trump’s appointment of Landry to this position without the consultation of Denmark, and statements made today by the President, have reignited tensions between the two allies over aggressive - almost belligerent - behavior towards Denmark by the Trump Administration over Greenland.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has resumed his demand for Greenland, stating earlier today during the event announcing the Trump-class battleship, “We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population. They say Denmark, but Denmark has spent no money, they have no military protection. They say that Denmark was there 300 years ago or something with a boat, well we were there with boats too I’m sure. So we’ll have to work it all out… We need Greenland for national security, not for minerals - we have so many sites for minerals and oil and everything - we have more oil than any other country in the world. We need Greenland for national security.”
