Dec. 24 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump's newly tapped special envoy to Greenland, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, has denied suggestions the United States is "trying to conquer" the island, which belongs to Denmark.
Landry made the remarks Tuesday during an appearance on Fox News' The Will Cain Show.
He said the United States wants an open dialogue with the people of Greenland, which is self-governing, to understand what they want.
"What are they looking for?" Landry said. "What opportunities have they not gotten? Why haven't they gotten the protection that they actually deserve."
