Amid rising tensions regarding a planned US visit to Greenland, Denmark has expressed relief as the itinerary for US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance has been significantly scaled back. Originally envisioned as a prominent trip highlighting US interests in the Arctic, it has faced backlash from Greenlanders who feel this visit embodies unacceptable pressure and aggression from the Trump administration. Despite claims from Trump that Greenland officials invited the US delegation, this assertion has been met with denial from local leaders. The visit, which will now focus primarily on a US military base instead of planned cultural events, underscores the growing unease surrounding US involvement in the region, as many Greenlanders unite against what they perceive as unsolicited interference by the US.
