Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry’s visit to Greenland on Sunday failed after locals rejected Trump administration proposals with middle fingers and dismissals.
Landry arrived in Nuuk claiming to “make a bunch of friends,” but was met with cold shoulders throughout his tour. When attempting to distribute free MAGA hats and promising Greenlandic children “all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat” at his Louisiana mansion, Landry encountered consistent refusals, according to The New York Times.
Residents like Hanne Hansen said Americans should “fix their own country first,” while her friend Vivi Nielsen said bluntly, “They need to get out,” as reported by Times.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen firmly rejected American pressure, stating, “We have our red lines. And no matter how many chocolate cookies we get, we are not going to change them.”
The visit underscored Greenlandic opposition to President Donald Trump’s demands for investment veto power and permanent U.S. military presence.
