US\u00a0President Donald Trump on Saturday said he was working with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to send a hospital boat to Greenland, a Danish territory that Trump has said he wants to acquire.<\/p>\n

Trump announced the plan on social media moments before hosting a dinner for Republican governors at the White House, where he sat next to and chatted with Landry.<\/p>\n

“Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It\u2019s on the way!!!” Trump said.<\/p>\n

Neither the White House nor Landry’s office responded to queries about the post, whether the ship had been requested by Denmark or Greenland and which sick people needed help. The Department of War had no immediate comment.<\/p>\n

Danish\u00a0King Frederik\u00a0paid a second visit to Greenland in a year last week, an attempt to demonstrate unity with the territory in the face of Trump’s push to buy the island.<\/p>\n

Greenland, Denmark and the US\u00a0late last month held talks to resolve the situation following months of tensions within the NATO defence alliance.<\/p>\n

Trump’s post came hours after\u00a0Denmark’s Joint Arctic Command\u00a0said it had evacuated a crew member who required urgent medical treatment from a US\u00a0submarine in Greenland’s waters, seven nautical miles outside of Greenland’s capital, Nuuk.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
