Trump's appointment of Greenland envoy sparks fresh row with Denmark
Donald Trump appointed on Sunday a new special envoy to Greenland, the vast Arctic island he has said he would like to annex, sparking a fresh diplomatic row with Denmark.
Jeff Landry, the newly appointed envoy and Republican governor of Louisiana, has said on X that it was an honour to serve in a "volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the US".
Greenland's prime minister said the island must "decide our own future" and its "territorial integrity must be respected".
The dispute over his appointment comes as strategic competition in the Arctic grows, with melting ice opening new shipping routes and increasing access to valuable mineral resources.
