Greenland prepares for visit from US vice-president JD Vance

As tensions rise between the US and Greenland over the potential acquisition of the Danish territory, Vice-President JD Vance and his wife Usha are set to visit a remote military base in Greenland. What was originally planned as a private cultural tour by the second lady quickly turned into a highly secured visit, indicating a more significant agenda behind the trip.

Greenlanders have expressed their dissent towards Mrs. Vance’s presence, with Acting Prime Minister Mute B Egede clarifying that no official invitations were extended by the government of Greenland for the visit. This unexpected trip has sparked concerns and speculation about the true intentions behind the US officials’ visit to Greenland.

As the US continues its efforts to potentially acquire Greenland, the visit by Vice-President JD Vance raises questions about the future of the territory and the implications of increased US presence. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
