Greenland PM Criticizes U.S. Delegation Plans

Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede has criticized the planned visit by Usha Vance, the wife of US Vice President JD Vance, along with national security adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright, describing it as 'very aggressive' and interference in Greenland's political affairs. The visit, which comes amid President Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland for strategic reasons, has been denounced by Danish and Greenlandic officials as putting 'unacceptable pressure' on the territory. Trump has characterized the visit as a gesture of 'friendliness', suggesting potential future US control of Greenland for national security. Despite this, Greenland's government has not extended any invitations and protests have been organized against what is seen as a demonstration of power by the US. The controversy arises as Greenland navigates forming a new government after recent elections, with many Greenlanders favoring greater autonomy from Denmark rather than US annexation. The planned visit has further strained US-Greenland relations, with Egede demanding respect for Greenland's integrity and democracy.
