US Envoy: Trump 'Serious' on Greenland Acquisition, Deal 'Will Be Made'

  • US special envoy Jeff Landry stated President Trump is "serious" about acquiring Greenland and believes a deal "should and will be made."
  • Landry confirmed plans to visit Greenland in March as discussions continue, with Trump having communicated his intentions to Denmark.
  • Denmark and Greenland leaders have repeatedly rejected the idea of a US takeover, with Denmark's top diplomat noting "fundamental differences."
  • European allies, including France, Germany, and the Netherlands, have deployed troops to Greenland for joint exercises, emphasizing Arctic security.
  • A bipartisan US congressional delegation visited Copenhagen and Nuuk to show solidarity with Denmark and Greenland, distancing themselves from Trump's rhetoric.
