U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy for Greenland, Jeff Landry, arrived in the autonomous Danish territory on Sunday for a multi-day visit. According to local media, the Louisiana governor is making his first trip in this new role and will attend the “Future Greenland” economic forum in Nuuk on Tuesday and Wednesday. The event, organized by the employers’ association Grønlands Erhverv, will bring together investors, political figures, and business leaders to promote investment opportunities.

Landry’s visit comes at a time of heightened international tension following Trump’s repeated assertions about U.S. control over Greenland. These claims have drawn cautious responses from Denmark, Greenland, and several Western European countries. Local newspaper Sermitsiaq reported that Landry arrived with about ten aides and entered the city in a five-car convoy. The U.S. ambassador to Denmark is expected to join him in Greenland on Monday.

A U.S. embassy statement said the delegation aims to expand economic opportunities, strengthen relationships, and enhance mutual understanding between the United States and Greenland.
