Background Deets:US Vice President JD Vance didn't nix his entire Greenland journey. Only the cultural soirees planned for his spouse, Usha Vance, were canned due to Nuuk protests, the Greenlandic capital city.
The Greenland visit's turbulence stemmed from unease about US desires towards the island. Vance's visit stirred up tensions and drew fire from the Danish government and Greenlanders, who saw it as overly aggressive amidst rumours of potential US power grabs[3][4]. Despite Vance's promises that the US would honor Greenland's self-determination rights, the visit was toned down to dodge further fuss[4].
Following the visit, Colonel Susan Meyers, Pituffik Space Base commander, sent an email that clarified the base's stance on Vance's remarks. Her email led to her sacking due to a "wobble in confidence," as she was viewed as undermining the chain of command and President Trump's agenda[1][2].
