Greenland Condemns Upcoming U.S. Delegation Visit as Aggressive and Interfering

Greenlandic leaders criticize the visit, led by Usha Vance and senior U.S. officials, during a sensitive government formation period following recent elections.

The U.S. delegation, including Usha Vance, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright, is scheduled to visit Greenland from March 27 to March 29, 2025.
Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede has labeled the visit as 'foreign interference' and a 'demonstration of force,' citing its timing during Greenland's post-election government formation process.
The U.S. administration describes the visit as a cultural exchange, highlighting Greenlandic heritage and events like the national dog sled race, but tensions over annexation claims remain high.
Donald Trump has reiterated his ambition to annex Greenland, calling it strategically vital due to its Arctic location and mineral resources, which has drawn widespread opposition from Greenlandic and Danish leaders.
Greenlandic political parties, united in their opposition to U.S. annexation, emphasize sovereignty and have called for international support to counter perceived American aggression.
