Trump Envoy Gets Cold Shoulder In Greenland As Key Event Pulls Invitation
HuffPost
Jeff Landry was disinvited from attending a sled dog race as the president continues to threaten the island.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) is already having a rough time in his new role as President Donald Trump’s special envoy to Greenland after being disinvited from a key event.
The move comes as Trump grows increasingly belligerent with his threats to seize the island, currently a semi-autonomous Danish territory.
Landry, named to the role last month, had been invited to attend a sled dog race in March. Now, the Greenland Dog Sledding Association (KNQK) says the invitation, which was made by a private tourism group, has been withdrawn.
In a statement posted on Facebook, KNQK ― which had previously denounced Landry’s planned attendance at the event as “wholly inappropriate” ― called the withdrawal “reassuring.”
