Trump appointed Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, who said on social media the role involves making Greenland ‘a part of the U.S’

CTV News U.S. political analyst Eric Ham says Trump is ‘moving full steam ahead’ is his attempt to annex Greenland.

OTTAWA: Canada will soon open a consulate in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland – the world’s largest island and an autonomous dependent territory in the Kingdom of Denmark that President Donald Trump has talked about the U.S. acquiring along with Canada ...

As US President Donald Trump has ramped up the campaign to annex Greenland, the European Union has extended ‘full solidarity’ to Denmark and said that territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law.

President Trump is announcing a new class of Navy ships that he is describing as “battleships.” He said he expects the U.S. government to build two and eventually acquire 25 of the new vessels that are expected to be called Trump-class battleships. It’s the latest example of Trump rebranding or remaking an aspect of the government in his own image.

In response to a question from the BBC about the new role of Jeff Landry, the Republican governor of Louisiana, Trump said the US needed Greenland for "national protection" and that "we have to have it". Landry, he said, would "lead the charge" as special envoy to Greenland, a semi-autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
