Greenland: Greenland’s head of government: No meetings with US delegation

There will be no meeting between the US delegation expected in Greenland and the Managing Greenland government. This was written by the incumbent Prime Minister Múte B. Eggede on Facebook. Previously, the White House had announced that US Vice President JD Vance’s Ms. Usha will visit the island that is being courted by President Donald Trump this week. According to media reports, Usha Vance is to be accompanied by Trump’s national security advisor Mike Waltz to Greenland.

According to the White House, Vance will travel to the Greenland belonging to the Danish kingdom on Thursday. During her visit, she will visit historical sites, learn more about the Greenland heritage and attend the traditional dog sled race in Sisimiut, it said.

Greenland’s head of government Egged wrote in his Facebook post that the visit could not be regarded as a purely private trip. “I can understand that you are worried,” wrote Eggede. Recently, the Greenlanders had been treated unacceptable, which was not part of close friends and allies, said Egedede.

Usha Vance follows in Greenland in the footsteps of Trump Jr.

Trump has been talking again and again for months of wanting to take control of Greenland. He justifies this with national or international security. Against this background, his son Donald Trump had traveled to Nuuk for a day at the beginning of January.

Just a week ago, hundreds of people in Nuuk and elsewhere protested against Trump’s takeover plans. The NATO partner Denmark points out that the citizens of the largely autonomous Greenland themselves could decide on their future and their possible independence from the Danish kingdom.

After the parliamentary election of March 11, Greenland politics is currently in the process of forming a new government. On April 1st, local elections will also take place on the island.
