Wife of VP J.D. Vance and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz Set for Greenland Visit Amid Diplomatic Tensions
US Vice President J.D. Vance embarks on a journey to Greenland - Wife of Vice President J.D. Vance embarks on a trip to Greenland.
Greenland's upcoming visitors from the White House include Usha Vance, the wife of US Vice President J.D. Vance, and Mike Waltz, the National Security Advisor, according to reports. However, due to recent tensions and protests, their original itinerary has been revised significantly.
Initially, Usha Vance was planning a solo journey to witness the traditional dog sled race in Sisimiut. But, their visit has stirred controversy, leading to a change in plans. Instead, Vance and her husband will tour the US Space Force outpost at Pituffik, located on Greenland's northwest coast.
The revised agenda will reportedly focus on delivering remarks by J.D. Vance to U.S. service members and receiving briefings on the base. The touristy cultural engagements and exploration of Greenland's rich heritage, as initially planned, have been set aside to avoid potential diplomatic conflicts.
Greenland, shrouded in controversy due to US President Donald Trump's ambitions, has been vocal about its unwillingness to become a US territory. Last week, massive protests took place in Nuuk and elsewhere, voicing opposition to Trump's claims of national security.
Greenland's political scene is currently forming a new government after a recent parliamentary election. Municipal elections on the island are scheduled for April 1st. Aaja Chemnitz, a Greenlandic MP in the Danish parliament, expressed her disapproval, stating on Facebook, "It's clear that the Trump camp does not respect our right to self-determination without outside interference."
