US President Donald Trump on Friday reignited his ambition to take over Greenland after he shared a bizarre AI-generated image of himself overlooking the Arctic region. Trump shared the image on his social media platform TruthSocial and simply captioned it \u201cHello, Greenland\u201d.<\/p>\n
The post from Trump came right after Louisiana\u2019s Attorney General and US Special Envoy to Greenland, Jeff Landry, paid a visit to the autonomous Arctic Island, currently under Denmark. The Trump administration has been putting pressure on both Denmark and the Netherlands to acquire the region, often citing security concerns.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Landry said: \u201cDuring our visit to Greenland, we had the opportunity to meet with Vivian Motzfeldt, Aaja Chemnitz, and a wide range of political and business leaders to discuss US-Greenland cooperation on security, economic development, and shared strategic interests in the Arctic. We appreciate the warm hospitality and look forward to continuing these important conversations in the months ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greenladers maintain \u2018No means no\u2019<\/p>\n
The post for Trump came just days after Greenlanders gathered outside a new American consulate in the capital, Nuuk, on Friday to protest against his ambition to take over the island. \u201cOur government already told Donald Trump and his administration that Greenland is not for sale,\u201d Aqqalukkuluk Fontain, who organised the protest, said in a message.<\/p>\n
It is pertinent to note that the inauguration of the new consulate and Landry\u2019s visit come amid efforts to ease diplomatic tensions after the US president\u2019s demands to control the island because of national security concerns. On Thursday, hundreds took to the street chanting\u00a0 \u201cGreenland is for Greenlanders\u201d, before standing in silence with their backs turned towards the consulate.<\/p>\n
A close ally of Trump and the Governor of Louisiana, Landry, stirred major controversy after arriving at the Arctic island without any official invitation. The American lawmaker flew back home on Wednesday evening and was due to meet Trump on Thursday, BBC reported.<\/p>\n
