Greenland: Trump sees Greenland visit as a sign of friendliness

The controversial visit of the US Vice President JD Vance, Usha Vance, according to President Donald Trump, takes place in Greenland. After a cabinet meeting in the White House, he left open who invited her. He rejected the question of a reporter whether the visit was a provocation. The visit is a sign of friendliness, said Trump.

“We are dealing with many people from Greenland who would like to see that something happens so that they are adequately protected and cared for. They call us. We do not call them. And we were invited there,” said Trump. He added, Usha love “The concept of Greenland”. Trump said the delegation was invited by the Greenlanders, and “they like the idea very much, because, as they know, they were abandoned a little and not treated well. And I think Greenland will be something that may be in our future.”

Greenland’s government: No meeting with Usha Vance

Previously, the incumbent Prime Minister Múte B. Eggede on Facebook had clarified that there would be no meeting between the US delegation expected in Greenland and the managing Greenland government. 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. The Greenlanders had recently been treated unacceptable, which was not part of close friends and allies, he added.

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 the capital 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.
