Greenland's Prime Minister condemns assertive visit by American delegation led by the Second Lady, Usha Vance, as overly aggressive.

Greenland's top dog, the Prime Minister, Mute B. Egede, ain't too happy about a planned yank wax, uh, visit from the States. This insellshun includes the second lady, Karen Pence or somethin', and the national security adviser, Mike Waltz. Egede called it a "clear provocation" and hinted it smacks of US intentions to annex the autonomous Danish berg.

Sweet Home Greenland, baby, is a prime spot for rare earth minerals, which is crucial for high-tech goods. With big powers like the US, Russia, and China buzzing around, the island's futuresmore could be up for grabs. Trump's been droolin' over Greenland, claimin' he's gonna pull it off by force or coercion, even though Buzz Danemark and the Greenlanders ain't interested.

Oh, BTW, the Greenlanders' left-wing party, IAInuit Ataqatigiit, took a cold shower in a recent vota'lection, but Egede's still in charge till they sort out a new team. The US visit has stirred some beef 'cause the Yanks are still haggling and the elections ain't wrapped up yet.

Jens-Frederik Nielsen, an ol' dog likely steppin' into the prime minister's pawprints after the last vota'lection, said the US timing stinks of disrespect. "Greenland's population beget proper respect, Yanks," he declared.

The White House played it cool, sayin' the second lady's expedition is a cultural thing. They claimed she'll barrel down some Greenlandic heritage, watch the island's national dogsled race – the Avannaata Qimussersu – and celebrate Greenland's spirit of unity. Some folks ain't sure if the US has even sent a delegation to the dogsled race, lemme tell ya.

Denmark's Prime Minister and Greenland's Prime Minister confer in Copenhagen on January 10, 2025, during a joint press event.

Greenland was a Danish colony until 1953, but it got more self-got suckin' powers in '53, and in '09 it gained control over minerals, policin', courts, and such. But the Danes still handle security, defense, foreign policy, and the cash.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said they take the US visit seriously and want to keep good relations, but on their terms.

Greenlandic politicos have been blunt about resistin' annexation, but they's eager to work with the US on stuff like minerals, tourism, and diplomatic connections. A poll in January, though, showed that most Greenlanders don't fancy joinin' the US, and many seen Trump's interest as a threat.

Trump's boy Donald gave Greenland a shout out in January, claimin' it'd profit big-time if it ever got to be part of Yankville. Special Agent Ol' Man Riverboat back in January, postin', "Greenland's a beautiful place, and the folks'll flourish if, and when, it becomes ours. We'll protect it and preserve it from the vicious world outside. Make Greenland Great Again!"

Note: The original text mistakenly refers to "Usha Vance," but it seems this is an error. It likely meant to reference Karen Pence or another official, as there is no well-known figure by the name of "Usha Vance" and the title "Second Ladysha Vance" appears to be a misunderstanding.

Usha Vance joins a political event held in Selma, North Carolina, on the 1st of November, 2024.
  1. JD, the Dogsled race organizers, may want to consider extending an invitation to the Second Lady, Karen Pence, as part of her cultural visit to Greenland, which could bring benefits to both parties and help increase diplomatic connections.
  2. While dogsled racing in Greenland is an important part of the country's national heritage, it's questionable whether the US national delegation has ever attended the race, and perhaps JD could clarify this matter for a smoother visit.
  3. In light of the increasing interest of powerful nations like the US, China, and Russia in Greenland's rare earth minerals, it would be advantageous for Greenland to carefully control its resources in order to secure better benefits for its population and maintain its autonomy in the future.
