Organizers of Greenland’s annual national dog sled race have questioned who invited Donald Trump’s U.S. envoy to the event, saying that its presence would be “wholly inappropriate” amid ongoing tensions between the two nations.
“On January 8, 2026, KNQK [The Greenland Dog Sledding Association] received an inquiry from an American journalist stating that the US president's recently appointed envoy, Governor Jeff Landry, had been invited to Avannaata Qimussersua,” a statement from the association’s president, Mikkel Jeremiassen, read.
