Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said Donald Trump wants Greenland placed on the map through increased U.S. involvement. Landry described his visit to Greenland as positive, including meeting residents and finding cultural commonality between Inuit and Greenland people and Cajun culture in Louisiana. He said Greenland residents are fiercely independent, live off the land, and embrace the United States while wanting more U.S. involvement. Landry argued that a U.S. takeover could bring wealth similar to oil and gas in Louisiana. He claimed Greenland could export about two billion barrels of oil per day, easing pressure in the Straits of Hormuz and increasing leverage for the Western Hemisphere, America, and Europe, with production possible within about 10 months.
"My trip was great except I could not get Fox News there, so, that was the only disappointing part, Landry told Fox and Friends's Charlie Hurt. But other than that, it was a great trip. Really met a lot of different people, spoke to people on the street, visited with people in their homes. Found a lot of commonality between the Inuit and Greenland people and the Cajun culture down in Louisiana."
"These are people who are fiercely independent, Landry continued. They live off the land, they live in harsh environments. They fish, they hunt, but they also the one thing that I did get, Charlie, they do love and embrace the United States. So, contrary to what you read in the paper, they appreciate and want more U.S. involvement in Greenland."
"Landry claimed that a U.S. takeover would bring wealth to them, just like oil and gas brought wealth to Louisiana. The president understands that he wants a deal, Landry continued. Greenland needs the deal. We could be Greenland could be exporting two billion barrels of oil a day right now. Now, think about what that would mean."
"Think about what kind of pressure that would relieve in the Straits of Hormuz. Think about what kind of leverage that would give to the Western Hemisphere and America. Think about the help that would give to Europe right now. And, so, right now, literally, we could have those barrels on production within 10 months or so. The president is the only president in the last 30 or 40 years to actually care about doing something and putting Greenland on the map, Landry declared."
