Jeff Landry, the envoy of President Donald Trump, made a visit to Greenland, where he emphasized the importance of the island's oil reserves in the context of the war in Iran. In a statement to Fox News, Landry stated that Greenlanders love and appreciate the involvement of the United States, contrary to reports in the press. However, his reception was cold, with Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen absent from the opening ceremony of the American consulate in Nuuk. Protesters gathered at the event, and a local woman shouted rejection messages. Relations between the US and Greenland have been tense in the past, especially after Trump's threats to annex the island. Landry insisted on Greenland's potential to export oil, highlighting the impact it would have on global markets and Western security.
