Reference News Network, January 20 report: According to AFP, on January 19, the Greenland Sled Dog Association stated that the organization has canceled an invitation for the new U.S. envoy to attend its annual event, due to repeated threats by Washington to take over this Danish autonomous territory.
The report said that Jeff Landry, the U.S. envoy to Greenland appointed by Trump, was originally invited by a private tourism company in Greenland to attend the event. However, the Greenland Sled Dog Association has stated that this invitation was "completely inappropriate."
From late on the 18th to early on the 19th, the organization wrote on Facebook: "The tourism company that had invited Jeff Landry, the U.S. envoy to Greenland, has unilaterally withdrawn the invitation."
The statement also added: "This is reassuring."
The report mentioned that a year ago, Usha Vance, wife of U.S. Vice President Vance, had planned to watch a sled dog race during an unsolicited visit to Greenland. However, her itinerary was canceled due to strong opposition from Denmark and instead she accompanied her husband Vance and a delegation to visit the U.S. military Pituffik Space Base in the northwest of the island.
