Greenland Rejects US Delegation's Outreach Amid Sovereignty Concerns

Acting Prime Minister Múte B. Egede has declined to meet Usha Vance and other US officials, labeling the visit as a provocative display of power.

A US delegation, led by Usha Vance and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, plans to visit Greenland this week, officially described as a private trip.
Greenlandic officials, including Acting Prime Minister Múte B. Egede, have refused to meet the delegation, citing concerns over foreign interference and respect for sovereignty.
The visit coincides with Greenland's political transition following recent parliamentary elections and upcoming municipal elections on April 1.
President Donald Trump has defended the visit as a gesture of goodwill, claiming it was initiated by Greenlanders, though local leaders dispute this assertion.
The delegation's planned attendance at cultural events, such as the Sisimiut dog sled race, has been criticized as symbolic of US ambitions to assert influence over the Arctic region.
