(Adnkronos) – Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute B. Egede has said that the planned visit to the island by US officials, including Usha Vanc, wife of US Vice President JD Vance, is “highly aggressive”, plunging relations to a new low after President Donald Trump pledged to annex the Danish autonomous territory. Vance will travel to Greenland this week to attend the island’s national dog sled race and “celebrate Greenland’s culture and unity,” according to a White House statement. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is also expected to visit the territory this week, according to a source familiar with the trip.
“What is the National Security Advisor doing in Greenland? The only purpose is to demonstrate power over us,” Egede said in an interview with Greenlandic daily Sermitsiaq. “His mere presence in Greenland will undoubtedly fuel American confidence in Trump’s mission, and the pressure will increase.”
