US national security advisor and the vice president’s wife plans trip to Greenland [Danish article]

Translation

According to DR, the US National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, is planning to visit Greenland next week with Usha Vance, who is the wife of Vice President J. D. Vance.

According to DR, the US has requested official meetings with Danish and Greenlandic representatives. However, these meetings have been rejected.

It was previously reported that Usha Vance will attend a dog sled race in Sisimiut during her trip to Greenland, which begins on March 29.

According to Visit Greenland, the race is one of the largest cultural events in Greenland.

It is held every year in the western part of Greenland, where participants compete in a 40-kilometer race.

Usha Vance's visit is also confirmed by Vivian Motzfeldt, acting Minister for Independence and Foreign Affairs, to Jyllands-Posten.

According to the Greenlandic media Sermitsiaq, security personnel will already arrive in Nuuk on Sunday, where the vice president's wife will initially stay before traveling on to Sisimiut.

It is not yet known exactly when the American visit will take place and what is on the program during the Greenland trip – besides the dog sled race.

The White House has not yet officially confirmed the American visit.

Demonstration against Trump
The American visit comes after a demonstration in Nuuk last weekend in protest against the American president and his desire to gain control of Greenland.

Several Greenlandic politicians participated in the demonstration.

Since Donald Trump was elected president, he has repeatedly expressed his desire to make Greenland part of the United States.

Earlier in March, Trump said, among other things, that he believes that an American annexation of Greenland will happen.

Trump's son visits Greenland in January
This is not the first time this year that an American visit to Greenland has caused a stir.

In early January, Donald Trump Jr., the son of US President Donald Trump, made a short visit to Greenland.

Trump Jr. stated that it was a "private" visit and that he was there as a "tourist to see this incredible place".

The visit only lasted a few hours, during which he invited Greenlanders to lunch, handed out 'Make America Great Again' caps, but also managed to accuse Denmark of racism.
