Bricklayer Behind Trump's Plan to Send a Hospital Ship [View all]

Wall Street Journal: “Jørgen Boassen, a 52-year-old Greenlandic bricklayer who last year helped organize Donald Trump Jr. visit to the island, says he was the one who inspired Jeff Landry, governor of Louisiana and Trump’s appointed Greenland envoy, to propose the idea.”

“Boassen, unknown to the Greenlandic public until early last year, has become a controversial figure for his outspoken pro-Trump views and regular outings in a red MAGA hat. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, he said he was staying overnight at Landry’s mansion in Louisiana last week as part of a cultural exchange during Mardi Gras when the governor asked what the U.S. could do for Greenland.”
