WASHINGTON—A few days before Christmas, President Donald Trump named Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry special envoy to Greenland.

“Thank you, @realDonaldTrump! It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the U.S. This in no way affects my position as Governor of Louisiana!” Landry wrote on X on Dec. 21.
