Neither Trump nor Landry explained whether Denmark or Greenland had asked for deployment or who needed treatment.
The War Department passed media inquiries to North U.S. Command, which handed them over to the U.S. Navy.
Neither side responded.
Greenland has a public-funded general wellness care system, although reports indicate chronic staff shortages and logistical constraints.
However, Denmark undertook in September to allocate 1.6 billion Danish krona (253 million) for the modernisation of wellness care and infrastructure by 2029 and began further reforms.
Trump's entry came a fewer hours after the Danish Combined Arctic Command evacuated a U.S. Navy sailor requiring urgent medical assistance outside the conflict with a submarine in Greenland waters close the capital, Nuuk.
It is unclear whether Trump's entry had anything to do with this incident.
Trump stepped up his efforts to take over Greenland last year, calling it crucial to US national security. He openly suggested the anticipation of utilizing force and mocked the Danish defence of the island, calling it ‘two dog teams’.
This rhetoric alarmed NATO's partners, and any warned that an effort to annex could lead to the dissolution of the alliance.
Greenland and Denmark rejected Trump's demands.
Trump later softened his tone, saying that last period he and NATO chief Mark Rutte agreed ‘arms’ on the safety of Greenland and the Arctic.
However, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned last week that Trump inactive ‘very serious’ Approaches the annexation.
She stressed that Denmark was ready to extend US military access but would not compromise on territorial integrity.
