Danes ‘outraged’ at revived Trump Greenland push
What happened
President Donald Trump yesterday revived his early-term campaign to take control of Greenland, a self-ruling territory of NATO ally Denmark. Trump has publicly coveted the large Arctic island’s mineral wealth, but “we need Greenland for national security, not for minerals,” he told reporters yesterday. “We have to have it,” he added, and Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) will “lead the charge.”
Who said what
Trump unexpectedly named Landry as his “special envoy to Greenland” on Sunday.
