US Revises Greenland Visit, Limits Vance Delegation to Military Base

Amid diplomatic backlash, the US Vice President and delegation will now visit only the Pituffik Space Base, avoiding broader Greenlandic engagements.

The US altered Vice President J.D. Vance's Greenland visit plans, restricting it to the Pituffik Space Base after criticism from Greenlandic and Danish officials.
Greenland and Denmark condemned the original plans, which included cultural events, as disrespectful and an infringement on Greenland's sovereignty.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen welcomed the revised itinerary, calling it a de-escalation of tensions.
Protests are still planned in Greenland's cities, including Nuuk and Sisimiut, against perceived US interference in Greenlandic affairs.
President Trump reaffirmed the US's strategic interest in Greenland, emphasizing its importance for international security and Arctic dominance.
