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 has resumed his demand for Greenland, stating earlier today during the event announcing the Trump-class battleship, “We need Greenland for national 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.

We need Greenland for national security.”
