VP JD Vance Joins Greenland Visit Amid Rising U.S.-Danish Tensions

Greenland and Denmark denounce the U.S. delegation's visit, calling it an aggressive move tied to President Trump's renewed push to acquire the Arctic territory.

Vice President JD Vance announced he will join his wife, Usha Vance, and a U.S. delegation on a contentious trip to Greenland later this week.
Greenland's leaders and Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen have strongly condemned the visit, calling it a provocation and an attempt to pressure the territory.
The visit, which includes stops at a U.S. Space Force base and cultural events, comes amid President Trump's renewed efforts to acquire Greenland for its strategic location and natural resources.
Greenland's government clarified that it did not invite the delegation, emphasizing its autonomy and rejecting external interference during a political transition period.
Protests are being organized in Greenland, reflecting widespread local opposition to U.S. annexation ambitions and concerns over sovereignty.
