"Donald Trump's special envoy to Greenland has said a deal for Washington to take over the island should and will be made as a US congressional delegation visited Copenhagen in a show of support. Governor Jeff Landry said he planned to visit Greenland in March and said the US president is serious about acquiring the largely autonomous territory, which is part of the Danish kingdom."
"I do believe that there's a deal that should and will be made once this plays out, Landry told Fox News on Friday. He added: The president is serious. I think he's laid the markers down. He's told Denmark what he's looking for, and now it's a matter of having secretary [of state, Marco] Rubio and vice-president JD Vance make a deal. Denmark announced it had agreed to provide support to Greenland's emergency preparedness."
Jeff Landry, designated as special envoy to Greenland, said a deal for the United States to take over Greenland should and will be made and that President Trump is serious about acquiring the territory. Landry said he plans to visit Greenland in March and suggested senior US officials would negotiate terms. A bipartisan delegation of 11 US House and Senate members visited Copenhagen to meet Danish and Greenlandic leaders, signaling opposition to threats of US military intervention. Denmark agreed to bolster Greenland's emergency preparedness, and Greenlandic officials expressed appreciation. Residents in Nuuk reported fear and improvised their own evacuation and preparedness plans.
