The Association of Dog Sledders, KNQK, is now reporting on the matter that US Special Envoy Jeff Landry plans to attend Avannaata Qimussersua 2026.
KNQK writes that the association has been informed that the tourism company that invited Jeff Landry has unilaterally withdrawn its invitation.
- This is reassuring for KNQK, and we take note of it, writes KNQK.
Last week, Jeff Landry announced that he was planning a trip to Greenland in March, and member of parliament Aaja Chemnitz (IA) told several media outlets that, according to her information, Landry will attend the traditional dog sled race.
Tour operator and local politician, Kristian Jeremiassen, has previously confirmed that he has sent an offer to Landry to come and see Avannaata Qimussersua. KNQK does not state whether this is the specific offer that has been withdrawn.
It is also unknown whether the withdrawal of the invitation affects Jeff Landry's plans to go to Greenland in March.
Jeff Landry has repeatedly repeated President Donald Trump's demand that the United States take over Greenland.
When US Vice President J.D. Vance and US Second Lady Usha Vance visited Greenland last year, Usha Vance was supposed to attend a dog sled race. The Vance couple changed plans and she did not attend the dog sled race. This happened, among other things, after various protests over the visit.
