US President Donald Trump's special envoy to Greenland has said he believes it's time the United States "puts its footprint back" on the territory.
Jeff Landry, who is also the governor of Louisiana, made the comments during a trip to the Arctic island this week, his first since his appointment to the special envoy role in December 2025.
Greenland has made frequent headlines since Trump's return to the White House, with the president repeatedly arguing that Washington needs to acquire the Danish territory to boost national defence and to prevent it from falling into the hands of Beijing or Moscow.
