Overview

• Greenland’s government has publicly refuted President Trump’s assertion that U.S. officials were invited to visit the territory, calling the claim false.
• Second Lady Usha Vance, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright are scheduled to arrive in Greenland on March 27, with plans to attend cultural events and visit a U.S. military base.
• Greenland’s outgoing Prime Minister Múte Egede criticized the visit as a “highly aggressive” move meant to pressure the territory into submission, while the incoming government echoed concerns about its timing during a political transition.
• Protests are being organized in Greenland to oppose U.S. annexation efforts, with widespread local and political resistance to Trump’s push for ownership of the mineral-rich Arctic territory.
• The Trump administration has framed Greenland’s acquisition as vital to national security and resource interests, but both Greenlandic and Danish leaders have firmly rejected any annexation proposals.
