Invitation to Greenland Dog Sled Race for Trump Envoy Withdrawn After Tariff Threats

The federation has opened an investigation into the invitation’s origin over concerns about foreign political participation.

Overview

  • The Greenland Dog Sledding Association said a private tourism company unilaterally rescinded its invite to special envoy Jeff Landry.
  • The federation has criticized outside political pressure and called the participation of foreign political figures at the race inappropriate.
  • President Trump said he would impose tariffs on eight European countries, including Denmark, in response to opposition to his Greenland plans.
  • Landry, who was appointed last month to advance U.S. efforts regarding Greenland, says he intends to visit the island in March.
  • Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, and a similar invitation last year to Usha Vance was canceled after protests.
