Fresh Air · An inside look at President Trump's campaign to acquire Greenland · 17 Jun 2026 podcast

naval hospital ship to Greenland to pick up the slack.

And Trump takes to Truth Social to announce that it's on its way.

And he posts an illustration of the U.S.

naval ship, the Mercy.

Of course, it wasn't on the way.

The Mercy was in dry dock in Alabama.

So too was the other U.S.

Navy hospital ship.

Both were undergoing repairs.

No ship was on the way.

The prime minister of Greenland himself said, look, we have a public health care system where treatment is free for citizens.

And he added, please talk to us instead of just making more or less random statements on social media.

Yeah, he was upon landing.

He said that his instructions from Trump were to go over there and make a bunch of friends, as many friends as he can.

So he also brought with him a doctor who claimed to have come to assess the medical needs of the Greenlanders.

But the Greenlandic health ministry had no idea that he was coming and there had been no coordination.

So they were obviously very upset about that.

And the health minister even put out a statement to the effect of essentially, you know, this isn't a population for you to come experiment on and view as subjects for your research.

Of course, you know, the business conference was a real opportunity for the Americans if they wanted to, to show real investment interest in Greenlandic businesses.

But instead, Landry's visit essentially took all the oxygen out of the event.
