Washington, United States. U.S. President Donald Trump said he was working with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to send a hospital boat to Greenland, a Danish territory Trump has said he wants to acquire.
Trump’s social media announcement
Trump announced the plan on social media shortly before hosting a dinner for Republican governors at the White House, where he sat next to and chatted with Landry.
“Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It’s on the way!!!” Trump said.
Requests for clarification
Neither the White House nor Landry’s office responded to queries about the post, including whether the ship had been requested by Denmark or Greenland and which sick people needed help. The Department of War had no immediate comment.
Danish king’s visit to Greenland
Danish King Frederik paid a second visit to Greenland in a year last week, an attempt to demonstrate unity with the territory in the face of Trump’s push to buy the island.
