President Trump is making an interesting move with regards to Greenland.
This evening, he announced that he is working with Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry to send a “hospital boat” to help take care of sick people who have been neglected there.

So far, no details have been provided about why there are so many sick people in Greenland or if a specific incident prompted President Trump to send help.
The Washington Examiner noted:
It is unclear why the hospital vessel is needed, and Trump did not provide any other details on the deployment. But the medical ships, of which the U.S. Navy possesses the two largest, are usually sent on humanitarian missions. In the past they have also aided U.S. soldiers during the Gulf and Iraq wars.
Trump’s announcement comes as he has flirted with a U.S. takeover of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, throughout his second term. He has maintained the Arctic island is vital for U.S. national security and has lamented Denmark’s defense of it.
We’ll likely find out more in the coming days.
But, knowing President Trump, there has to be something more behind this.
Perhaps it’s part of his plan to win over the hearts and minds of Greenlanders by treating them better than Denmark ever did.
Greenland needs us more than Denmark
