The US special envoy sent to negotiate with Greenland and Denmark, used the occasion of Greenland's National Day to suggest that already next year they will be the 51st state.
I cannot express my feelings about this without swearing very very loudly.

Analysis Summary
On Greenland's National Day (June 21), Trump's special envoy Jeff Landry posted that the US could celebrate its 251st birthday in 2027 with a 51st state—a clear reference to Greenland, which Trump has pushed to acquire. Landry is officially in Greenland as a negotiator, making the timing and message deliberately provocative. The post is confirmed by multiple Danish news sources and Landry's own X account. Mottram's emotional reaction reflects widespread concern in Denmark and Greenland about sovereignty, though she does not elaborate on the diplomatic or constitutional implications of the suggestion.
