Get ready for a serious geopolitical dust-up, because President Trump just appointed a new special envoy whose stated goal is to annex Greenland. This isn’t some quiet diplomatic mission; it’s a massive, bold declaration of intent that’s already causing major international headaches. Jeff Landry, the sitting Republican Governor of Louisiana, is the person President Trump named to the volunteer position of special envoy to the autonomous Danish territory. Landry didn’t waste any time confirming his aggressive objective.
The Louisiana Governor took to the X on Sunday night, thanking the president and stating his clear purpose. Landry wrote, “Thank you @realDonaldTrump! 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!” It’s wild that a sitting governor can take on a role with such explosive international implications, even if it is technically a volunteer position according to The Hill.
