President Trump appointed Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as a special envoy to Greenland. Landry stated he will remain Louisiana's governor, as the envoy role is a volunteer position. The appointment has drawn criticism from Denmark, which has repeatedly said Greenland is not for sale.

All we’re going to do is have us a great conversation with those folks in Greenland,” Landry said. “They’re in the Western Hemisphere, fits inside the Monroe Doctrine, and we’re gonna bring them some great Cajun food.

Denmark played down concerns over the appointment on Monday but said the U.S. "must show respect" for territorial integrity.

President Trump and Gov. Jeff Landry are revealing more about how plans came about for Landry to serve as special envoy to Greenland.

President Donald Trump announced he is appointing Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry to help the country make Greenland a part of the United States, but a legal analyst says the role violates Louisiana law.
