President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he is appointing Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as the United States Special Envoy to Greenland.
In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump said Landry “understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security” and will work to advance U.S. interests in the region.
Trump’s announcement did not include details about the scope of Landry’s duties or how the role would intersect with his responsibilities as governor.
This is a developing story stay with WWL Louisiana for updates.
What’s the actual plan though? Because it seems like he’s doing that thing where oligarchs don’t send the guy they believe is most capable, they send the guy who’s the most loyal because they know he’s willing to keep his mouth shut about the details and just do as he’s been told.
Also, there are some odd links between Louisiana and Russia that make the Landry pick possibly even more concerning than if he went with anybody else.
