Trump's special envoy makes his first visit to Greenland to attend an economic forum.

Greenlandic media reported that U.S. President Trump's Greenland envoy arrived in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, on Sunday (May 17) for a multi-day visit.

In December of last year, Trump appointed Louisiana Republican Governor Jeff Landry as Greenland's special envoy. This is Landry's first visit to Greenland since his appointment, and he will attend an economic forum in Nuuk, the Greenlandic capital, on the 19th and 20th.

The “Future of Greenland” forum, hosted by the local employers’ organization, the Greenlands Chamber of Commerce (Gronlands Erhverv), will bring together investors and business leaders, with the aim of attracting investment to Greenland.

According to the Sermitsiaq, Landry arrived with about 10 people and left in five cars.

Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a NATO member. The U.S. ambassador to Denmark is scheduled to arrive in Greenland on Monday.

The U.S. Consulate in Nuuk, which is affiliated with the U.S. Embassy in Denmark, issued a statement to AFP saying: "The U.S. delegation will meet with a wide range of Greenlandic people to listen and learn, with the aim of expanding economic opportunities, building people-to-people ties, and enhancing understanding between the United States and Greenland."

In January of this year, Trump retracted his repeated threats to "take over" Greenland, and Denmark and Greenland subsequently held their first meeting in Washington.

Trump has repeatedly argued that the United States needs to control Greenland for national security reasons, claiming that if the United States does not occupy Greenland, the Arctic island will fall into the hands of China or Russia.

Greenland's Prime Minister Nielsen said on May 12 that while negotiations between Greenland, Denmark, and the United States had made progress, no agreement had yet been reached.
