Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry rebuffed during Greenland visit

newsMay 19, 2026252,777

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry traveled to Nuuk as a Trump envoy to press Greenland for a permanent U.S. military presence and to discuss changes to Greenlandic sovereignty. Greenlandic officials declined to meet with Landry and local residents protested his visit, with at least one child refusing a photo and others making a middle-finger gesture. Landry left Nuuk without securing support or any agreement to cede control. The episode underscores strong Greenlandic and Danish resistance to U.S. efforts to expand Arctic bases and complicates U.S. Arctic strategy and relations with Denmark.

Trump has dispatched Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to Nuuk with an ultimatum to Greenland: give up your sovereignty by Trump’s birthday—or else. The Trump regime calls it a “negotiation” for a permanent U.S. military presence. Greenland and Denmark see it as a direct threat to their sovereignty.

Shouldn't the governor of Louisiana be doing... things in Louisiana?

USA already has a treaty allowing a permanent military presence in Greenland. So this can only be about sovereignty, probably for mineral right.

Don’t we have more wars than we know what to do with already???? 😮‍💨

Not a single member of this regime would make it 5 minutes at a high school lunch table before being bullied to tears. It's time for new leadership across the globe. We need people not afraid to put the trash where it belongs.

Fuck sake....just one day without this Cheeto doing something. Apparently it's far too much to ask.

David Zack10

Greenland should just arrest him.

When is this freaking shit going to end? I'm tired and I know most of the world feels the same way I do. Peace and Love.

I keep telling Denmark: Invite Trump to Greenland for a ceremony involving turning over the (solid gold, of course) key to Greenland. Once he is on the ground, surround him and his security team with the entire army. Arrest him (piracy would be a good charge). Trump already set the precedent.

Melinda here 4 the defeat of evil 🛑 this shit 💙🤬7

Well I guess the whole world would be much better off if he didn’t reach that birthday. It would be a 🎁 to the 🌎 There have always been men throughout history who when they died the world 🌎 celebrated. The evil they inflicted was at an end.

Good lord. Would he please fucking die already!!!!

The kind of tactics that Ukraine has used are probably the kind of things worth looking at by Greenland. It is unlikely Trump will actually launch an attack, but not impossible. The man's mind is clearly falling apart and he was pretty evil before that.

🇲🇽🇨🇦🇺🇦 💪🏼👊🏼6

WTF?! This is horrific. The US demanding Greenland succumb to these outrageous demand?! NO WAY. 🇬🇱 forever.

gramadre62.bsky.social5

Unless he can find another cab driver to bribe, I don't see this going well for him.

A cold war? with the arctic? it's gonna be the fastest fail fast yet

Julia Dilliard💙🐴🇺🇦#Resist. DM's are blocked.4

Denmark is a member of NATO. Trump has nowhere to go with this demand.😡

The Optimist4

Doesn't Denmark belong to NATO? If that is the case Trump is seeking to bring all the NATO countries after him. In addition the Americans left an 80 year old committee with Canada that was used to protect the safety of NA.

Clive4

Because he wants a war with NATO as a birthday present? At what point do you bring in real doctors and provide him with the care he clearly needs?

catgurl.bsky.social4

Trump has gone full on Caligula. 🤬

Dorian4

Trump wants it for a birthday present. He’s certifiable.

R L B4

As usual, Trump has no plan B if his standard bluff and bluster fails to intimidate the other party. Europe has already accepted that the US is no longer a reliable ally and will treat this crude threat accordingly.

collburns.bsky.social4

NATO has your back Greenland!

Vicky&Jim ❌👑4

Stop this stupid sh—- Being hostile to an ally is ridiculous behavior from a dementia trump

Jorin_edz_photography4

I truly detest how our biggest UK news outlets frame this as: "Delegates from the Trump Administration are engaged in ongoing complex high-level talks with the Greenland government." We have seen and heard enough to know that that is never how it goes down. But the news continues to normalise.

Cut all power and services to US bases currently in Greenland.

kijake64.bsky.social3

He's hellbent on destroying every pact, agreement, and protection. If he attacks Greenland, he splinters NATO, and he's been withdrawing U.S. troops from Europe, which leaves Europe vulnerable to attacks from Russia. OMFG. This becomes scarier and crazier every single day. I wish for a stroke/AMI.

We already have a permanent military presence

Oh, so Jeff Landry is ALSO itching to see the business end of a war crimes tribunal? Okay.

Honestly, of all the stupid, the Greenland thing is the stupidest.

Trump is working very hard to become the most hated man on earth, and so far he’s being very successful at doing it

Why do they even allow him to go there!

Jeff Landry, a MAGA ally of Jeffrey Epstein's best friend, was filmed approaching local children in Greenland and asking, “—If you come to the—Mansion—you can have all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat.” and “Do you want a picture?” and the children said, "NO". 📹 @OJoelsen

Why does Greenland even let these assholes off the plane? Entry should be denied.

Locriansax60

gross, what a creeper. he might as well have been offering candy from inside a windowless van. those kids have the right instincts.

experimental22.bsky.social48

MAGA is the creepiest, pedophilic political party in global history. They can’t leave children alone.

all-a-mort.bsky.social25

Is that why Trump wants Greenland, so he can have a bigger pedo island than Epstein had?

Openly being a pedophile, it's crazy

Gidget 💜15

Gah! He sounds like a pervert trying to lure little kids into his van.

Saoirse13

Nothing says pedophile... like offering never-ending supply of cookies to a child, to coax them to enter your mansion of horrors. Lost puppy anyone...?

Luci12

Please tell me this is fake. Because it’s disgusting

What’s Landry doing there in the first place ? Greenland 🇬🇱 can’t allow this nonsense. Kick him out of the country.

I like the way he turned his head and looked around when he was saying something creepy to make sure it was safe . Just like when a bigot is about to tell a racist joke .

Once a predator, always a predator. Personally, I think pedophiles are irredeemable and should be 💉💀.
