Washington: US vice -president JD Vance will visit Greenland on Friday, which will join his wife Usha amidst the increasing pressure of Donald Trump, who renewed his push for American control over the autonomous Danish sector.
Vance, who has become a dog of Trump’s attack on foreign policy affairs, said he would meet members of the space force based there, but also see what is happening with Greenland’s security “.
Vance said in a video on Tuesday, “There was so much enthusiasm about Usha’s visit to Greenland on this Friday that I did not want to have all that fun by myself, and so I am going to join her.”
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederricasen announced her just hours after criticizing the visit of a American second woman, as it was putting “unacceptable pressure” on both the region and their country.
The White House had earlier announced that Usha Vance would visit Greenland from Thursday to Saturday to participate in the race for Greenland’s national dogs at Sismio on the northwest coast.
Since returning to power in January, Trump insisted that he wanted the United States to handle Greenland for national security purposes and refuse to refuse the use of force.
In his video announcement, Vance said that other countries demanded “to use the area to use the area to” threaten the United States, to threaten Canada, and of course, use the area to threaten the people of Greenland. “
Trump has also recently told Canada about anxing, saying that it should become a “51st state” of the United States.
“Speaking to President Trump, we want to strengthen the safety of the people of Greenland,” Vance said.
He said that we and Danish leaders “ignored Greenland for a very long time” and “We think we can take things in a different direction,” he said.
According to Greenland’s outgoing Prime Minister Mute Edy, US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz will also visit Greenland this week, while US media has reported that Energy Secretary Chris Wright will travel there too.
Greenlandic media reported that the dog race was sponsored by the US consulate on a large scale, Greenlandic media reported.
The trips have angered Danish and Greenlandic politicians.
“You can’t organize a private journey with official representatives of another country,” Fredericseen told reporters.
The journey comes at a time of political flow in Greenland, where parties are still talking to form a new coalition government after an election on March 11.
