The governor planned to attend the dog sled race in March, which would have been his first visit to the area. According to Politico, a tourism company extended the invitation to Landry.

The media outlet reports the Greenland Dog Sledding Association objected to Landry’s visit and launched an investigation into where the invitation came from. In a statement, the association later announced the tourism company decided to reverse course on Landry’s invite.

The governor responded to the reports on Tuesday. “I’ve seen some of the reports that are saying, look, it’s been disinvited,” the governor said. “Certainly, if that is true, and what exactly is going on, that’s certainly disappointing. I don’t think we would reject Greenlanders to come to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, right? I mean, this is about hospitality. This is about having a discussion.”
