US President Donald Trump's special envoy to Greenland, Jeff Landry, had an American doctor on the plane when he arrived in Nuuk on Sunday. The doctor, like Landry, is now in Nuuk.
The Danish news media TV2 News has interviewed the doctor, Joseph Griffin.
- First and foremost, we would like to learn how healthcare is practiced here, says Joseph Griffin.
He emphasizes to the media that he has no connection to the American authorities and that he is in Nuuk as a volunteer.
Naalakkersuisoq: Greenlanders are not experimental subjects
Naalakkersuisoq for health assesses that it is problematic that an American without political affiliation, who works voluntarily, travels to Greenland in this way.
She wrote this on Sunday on the social media LinkedIn.
- It is deeply problematic when people with a political mission to make Greenland part of the United States send a so-called “volunteer doctor” to Nuuk to “assess our needs.”
- Greenlanders are not experimental subjects in a geopolitical project, writes naalakkersuisoq.
Sermitsiaq has contacted the Department of Health about the matter. Here we wanted to know whether it is planned for Joseph Griffin to meet with health authorities in Greenland. At the time of writing, we have not yet received a response.
