India, Dec. 23 -- On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that he is appointing Jeff Landry, the Louisiana governor, as the special envoy to Greenland. Shortly after Trump's announcement, Landry said he would make Greenland- a Danish autonomous territory- "a part of the US". The comments have not sat well with the Greenlanders, who have threatened protests against Landry when he arrives.

The political authority in Denmark has not taken kindly to Landry's remarks. On Monday, Denmark said that they would summon Landry once he comes to the Denmark-administered territory. Meanwhile, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said he was "deeply angered" by Landry's comments. The European Union also offered Denmark "full solidarity."
