President Donald Trump’s special envoy to Greenland was heckled in Greenland’s capital, according to video on social media.

Greenland resident Orla Joelson shared a video on X on Wednesday showed Landry walking through the city. “Don’t come here,” a person can be heard yelling in the clip.
President Trump has repeatedly insisted that the U.S. needs to take control of the semi-autonomous territory of Denmark for security reasons, which has raised sovereignty concerns and pushback from Greenlandic and Danish leaders.
Landry, who was appointed envoy in December, said upon his arrival in Greenland that Trump had told him to “go over there and make as many friends as we can get,” public Danish broadcaster DR reported.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Neilson said on Monday that he had a respectful and positive meeting with Landry, but that he made it clear that the Greenlandic people continue to insist on self-determination.
“The Greenlandic people are not for sale. Greenlandic self-determination is not something that can be negotiated,” Nielsen was quoted by Danish TV 2 as saying after meeting with Landry.
