Description
Trump Appoints Special Envoy to Greenland, Escalating Arctic TensionsFormer President Donald Trump appoints Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as special envoy to Greenland, reigniting interest in the mineral-rich Arctic island. Trumps push for Greenlands potential U.S. membership is driven by its strategic location and valuable resources. Landry accepts the volunteer role without leaving his governorship. Denmark and Greenland strongly oppose the move, with Greenlands Prime Minister emphasizing self-determination and Denmarks Prime Minister calling it unacceptable. The U.S. suspends offshore wind leases, impacting Denmarks investments in the Arctic. This bold move underscores the high stakes in the Arctic, where strategy and resources are drawing superpowers closer together.
