Washington, United States: US President Donald Trump announced Sunday the appointment of Louisiana's Republican governor as the country's special envoy to Greenland, the Danish autonomous territory coveted by Washington.
After his return to office in January, the Republican leader said that he "needed" Greenland, for US security, repeatedly expressing his wish to seize it.
Greenland, backed by Copenhagen, rebutted that it was not for sale and would decide its own future.
"I am pleased to announce that I am appointing the GREAT Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, as the United States Special Envoy to Greenland," Trump said on social media.
"Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security, and will strongly advance our Country's Interests for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Allies, and indeed, the World. Congratulations Jeff!"
