<p>President Donald Trump announced on Sunday night that Louisiana Republican Governor Jeff Landry will serve as special envoy to Greenland as the president keeps his sights set on the large mineral-rich territory.</p>
<p>Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115760829286615399">said</a> that Landry, who previously served as a U.S. congressman and Louisiana&#8217;s attorney general, &#8220;understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security, and will strongly advance our Country’s Interests for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Allies, and indeed, the World.&#8221; Landry said his appointment as special envoy to Greenland will not interfere with his job as governor.</p>
<p>“Thank you @realDonaldTrump!&#8221; Landry <a href="https://x.com/LAGovJeffLandry/status/2002950029494124986">wrote</a> on X. &#8220;It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the U.S. This in no way affects my position as Governor of Louisiana!&#8221;</p>
<p>After making a strong push to acquire Greenland earlier this year, the Trump administration has said little about the proposal, but the president has not forgotten about his goals for the northern territory that sits in a strategic position between North America and Russia.</p>
<p>Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-absolutely-considering-annexing-greenland-i-dont-take-anything-off-the-table">said</a> in March that he was discussing with his advisers ways the United States could take over Greenland, such as purchasing it from Denmark, and gave “100%” certainty that “we’ll get Greenland.” Greenland is currently a territory of Denmark but operates as a somewhat autonomous country.</p>
<p>“You have ships sailing outside Greenland from Russia, from China and from many other places. And we’re not going to allow things to happen that are going to be — that are going to hurt the world or the United States,” Trump added at the time.</p>
<p>After Trump appointed Landry as special envoy on Sunday night, leaders in Greenland and Denmark expressed concern that Trump was once again making moves in his plan to take over the territory.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have said it before. Now, we say it again. National borders and the sovereignty of states are rooted in international law,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a joint statement, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/denmark-greenland-trump-landry-special-envoy-7df618b975f25f7a606ec84f6d82bff9">Associated Press</a>. “They are fundamental principles. You cannot annex another country. Not even with an argument about international security.”</p>

<p>&#8220;Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders and the U.S. shall not take over Greenland,” the two leaders added. “We expect respect for our joint territorial integrity.”</p>
<p>The Trump administration argues that Greenland is vital to U.S. national security, while it could also provide the United States with rare earth minerals and oil. The Trump administration also wants to gain an advantage over Russia and China, which have both sought to influence and use Greenland for their own interests.</p>
