Usha Vance, wife of US Vice President JD Vance, will visit Greenland on Friday.
– There has been so much resurrection about Usha’s visit to Greenland, and I have decided that I do not want to let her experience all the fun alone, so I go with her, says the vice president in a video to the post at X.
– We think that Greenland has unfortunately been in Denmark’s hands far too long. And it is unfortunate for Greenland’s safety, and it is unfortunate for safety in the rest of the world, he also says.
The US national security adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Minister Chris Wright will also participate in the visit, who has been announced without the invitation from neither Greenland nor Denmark, and the American delegation will not meet Greenlandic politicians.
Government formation is in progress in Greenland
In Greenland, election winner Democraatitis party leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen is currently trying to form a new government. The party was victorious from an election that received great international attention after Donald Trump’s statements about wanting to take over Greenland, which aroused strong reactions from both Greenlandic and Danish politicians.

Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen marked earlier on Tuesday against the United States regarding the situation in Greenland.
– It is an unacceptable pressure that is placed in both Greenland and Denmark in this situation. But there is a pressure that we will resist, she tells Danish TV2.
