Trump appoints a special envoy to Greenland.

Trump appointed the sitting governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, to fill a new post, special envoy to Greenland.

In his acceptance of the post, Landry stated: “It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the U.S.” 

Here is the text of an open letter from the Prime Minister of Greenland (an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark):

Dear fellow citizens, 

 

Once again, we have woken up to a new statement from the American president, who has now appointed a special envoy to Greenland. It may sound significant, but it does not change anything for us here at home. We decide our own future. Greenland is our country. We have our own democracy, our own decisions, and a strong community that stands firm. Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people, and territorial integrity must be respected. We are happy to cooperate with other countries, including the United States, but this must always be done with respect for us and for our values and wishes. There is no reason for concern. We stand together, and we stand firm.

 

Take good care of one another as we approach Christmas.

 

In other words, don't pay any attention to Trump; it's just more hot air.
