Trump's Greenland envoy Jeff Landry faces uphill battle on mission to make 'friends'

Jeff Landry's visit to the territory, a semi-autonomous part of Denmark, has touched a nerve among some Greenlanders.

Greenlandic mayor in the middle of a visit from the United States: "A human life is worth more to me than the unity of the realm"​

Jeff Landry has come to Greenland without his saving hospital ship, but with a "volunteer" doctor who arouses anger. But all help is welcome, a North Greenlandic mayor has previously said. Now the Americans want to meet with him.

Not everyone likes to hear that. At least not in "this time".

But for Lars Erik Gabrielsen, who is the mayor of North Greenland, it is necessary to say.

"There must be some drastic changes."

When U.S. President Donald Trump and his special envoy Jeff Landry talk about health in Greenland, they hit a "very sore toe," according to the mayor.

Therefore, he is not afraid to speak out, even though it can be used by the Americans or as gasoline for the fire that has burned over Greenland since Trump seriously claimed Lars Erik Gabrielsen's land.

"A human life is worth more to me than the Commonwealth is," he says.

These days, a doctor is part of the American delegation that – led by Trump's special envoy Jeff Landry – has invited himself to visit Greenland.

The doctor's name is Joseph Griffin and according to his own statement, he is there to learn more about how Greenlanders experience the health care system in the country.

But the visit does not exactly go down well with the Greenlandic government.

Will not be »test subjects«​

In a post on LinkedIn, Health Minister Anna Wangenheim states that "Greenlanders are not test subjects in a geopolitical project."

"A society with long distances, chronic shortages of health care workers and a demographic development that puts pressure on the system makes us vulnerable," she writes in a post on LinkedIn:

"And that is precisely why it is deeply problematic when people with a political mission to make Greenland part of the United States send a so-called "volunteer doctor" to Nuuk to assess our needs."

According to Anna Wangenheim, Greenland has challenges, but is not "passive" and works to strengthen the health sector – also with Denmark.

Have come to learn​

During the few days Joseph Griffin is in Nuuk, he will, according to TV 2, "assess the medical needs in Greenland" and find out how the health care system is experienced locally.


"First and foremost, we want to learn how health care is practiced here," he told the TV station on Sunday when Landry's delegation landed in the Greenlandic capital.

However, Greenland's head of government, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, does not believe that it is particularly "respectful" to talk to private individuals instead of gaining insight into the Greenlandic health care system.


"I have called for such a dialogue and such information to be taken directly with the authorities instead of from individual people who have nothing to do with the public sector in Greenland," he said Tuesday at a press conference.

However, this is far from the first time that the Trump administration, or Jeff Landry for that matter, has taken an interest in the Greenlandic health care system.

The idea was planted by a Greenlandic Trump fan
The United States has previously offered Greenland a large hospital ship that, according to Trump, will "take care of the many people who are sick and who are not being taken care of."

An offer that was made in collaboration with Southern Governor Jeff Landry, but which was rejected by the Greenlandic government back in February.

That made Landry angry:

»Shame on you,« he wrote in a post on X to Greenland's head of government.

According to DR and KNR, the idea came about after the governor of Louisiana had spoken to the Greenlandic bricklayer and Trump fan Jørgen Boassen.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also noticed the post. Without mentioning Trump or the post directly, she wrote that she is "happy to live in a country where there is free and equal access to health for all."

However, this is not how everyone experiences it.

Lack of doctors and guarantees​

Lars Erik Gabrielsen from North Greenland would not refuse help from the United States back this winter.

"All help is welcome," he told TV 2:

"Our health system is very lagging."

Nor would he deny it today, when Berlingske catches him during the business conference "Future Greenland," which is being held in Nuuk this week.

Greenland took over the health sector in 1992, and it is no secret that there are problems.

Financial deficit, lack of doctors and specialists are just some of those that Berlingske has previously written about.

A series of critical posts on social media have prompted Landry's people to reach out to him to meet, according to the mayor himself. However, this will not happen out of respect for the Greenlandic government's work.

Lars Erik Gabrielsen points to two major challenges in the Greenlandic healthcare system: a lack of treatment guarantee and staff shortage.

And then he lists a number of family members who have died within a few years. He has lost "far too many people."

"How can we save human lives in this way? We spend a lot of money on health, even though it is lagging," he says.

"I think we should send people by plane to Denmark so that they can be properly examined, operated on or diagnosed instead of waiting several months in the outlying districts."

The mayor points out that Greenland does not have the treatment guarantee that exists in Denmark.

"I often hear people say that there is a level playing field in the health service, but that's not true," he says.

Would you like the US to be part of the solution?

"It's up to our government. Whether it is the Americans, the Japanese or the Africans who fill the vacant positions. It's up to them," said Lars Erik Gabrielsen.

Millions on the way from Denmark​

During the conference, Jens-Frederik Nielsen was asked if he denies that there are some problems – and not least differences – in the health conditions for people on the coast and in Nuuk?

"We have a large number of challenges in this area, and we are working hard every day to do something about them," he said at the press conference.

Jens-Frederik Nielsen emphasizes that the Greenlandic government is fighting to improve the health sector in Greenland, and that cooperation with Denmark has just been strengthened.

"It's something we need to find solutions to, but it won't be solved by an American sending a ship or bypassing us on the basis of information from private individuals who are starting to figure out what our challenges are."

This year, an agreement has been signed with Denmark that will send up to DKK 185 million to boost the healthcare system in 2026.

Jeff Landry does not know when the hospital ship from the United States might arrive. He said this on his way to the conference on Tuesday morning.

"I have to talk to the president when I'm back," he said.

Berlingske has tried to get an interview with the American doctor to ask what he thinks about the Greenlandic health care system after the visit.

He has not yet returned.

Anne Meisner Synnestvedt is Berlingske's journalist in Nuuk.

Grønlandsk borgmester midt under besøg fra USA: »Et menneskeliv er mere værd for mig end rigsfællesskabet«

Jeff Landry er kommet til Grønland uden sit frelsende hospitalsskib, men med en »frivillig« læge, som vækker vrede. Men al hjælp er kærkommen, har en nordgrønlandsk borgmester tidligere sagt. Nu vil amerikanerne gerne mødes med ham.

It's difficult for Denmark to even get their own doctors to work in rural areas despite good and decent infrastructure. Which is why the Island where the Capital of Denmark is located is restructuring their health organisation.

Currently the two organisation Region Hovedstaden and Region Sjælland are going to merge in 2027 and become one big organization, and hopefully the doctors from the Capital area can be sent outside greater copenhagen area.

Now that said the issues Greenland is facing is very similar, but also more challenging. It can only be solved by paying shitload of money. But it is not a sustainable.

US is not afraid of spending money here and now to fool people. whilst Denmark is looking for sustainable solutions. It won't come anytime soon.

So I think spending shitload of money until you have created the basis for a sustainable solution is the only way forward.

Now the Liberal, Right wing, capitalistic minds are all the kind of shit that would say, Greenland solve your own problem. But that is just the same as pushing Greenland toward US. Because they are not capable of solving the problem.

They need a big brother, and help to solve this issue. If Greenlands population had been bigger it could have been easier, but it is not, and they are spread out in small enclaves, which is why money is needed to solve the problem until Greenlands population has grown to a size where they are able to sustain themselves.

Faroe which has same population size or more than Greenland is undertaking everything themselves and are nearly independent of Denmark, but they don't have massive land, nor the climate challenges of the Inuit.

Alternatively Denmark needs to enter some kind of cooperation with some European or scandinavian countries to help Greenland with their challenges. By Paying the salary of doctors who are willing to live and work in Greenland in some some year at least 2-3 years at a time. Anything less might be too much troublesome.
