#Denmark & #Greenland on Monday reacted with anger to Trump’s appointment of a special envoy to Greenland, as he intensifies his efforts to take over the semiautonomous Danish territory.
#Trump announced Sunday he was appointing Louisiana Gov #JeffLandry, a political ally, to the position. Denmark’s foreign minister quickly criticized the move as “totally unacceptable” & said he would summon the #US ambassador in Copenhagen for an explanation.

“We decide our future ourselves,” Nielsen said.
Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Denmark’s foreign minister, told Danish television on Monday that he was “deeply upset” by Trump’s announcement & that he planned to summon Ken Howery, who became the American ambassador to #Denmark in October.

The Danish government has twice this year summoned #US diplomats to complain about reports that the United States was spying & running a covert influence campaign in #Greenland. Earlier this month, in a first for the Danish government, Denmark’s #military #intelligence said that shifts in US policy were generating new uncertainties for Denmark’s security.

“You cannot annex other countries,” #Denmark PM Mette Frederiksen & #Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a joint statement on Monday. “Not even by invoking international security. Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, & the #UnitedStates must not take over Greenland.”
Nielsen added in a statement on FB that the appointment “may sound big,” but “doesn’t change anything for us at home.”

#JeffLandry quickly made it clear that he understood what #Trump wanted from him, writing on X: “It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make #Greenland a part of the #US.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that “Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security.”
But the appointment drew condemnation from Greenland & further deteriorated the relationship between the US & #Denmark, which used to be close allies.

It appeared to be the first time the #US had appointed a special envoy to #Greenland. That gives the territory — a gigantic frozen island inhabited by fewer than 60,000 people — something in common with the war in #Ukraine, the conflicts in the #MiddleEast, & a handful of other issues; #Trump has tapped someone close to him to manage all of these as priorities.
