US delegation causes excitement: Greenland defends itself against Trump's pressure!

Grönland, Dänemark - President Donald Trump plans a visit to Greenland, which, however, encounters sharp rejection. Denmark's head of government Mette Frederiksen is critical of the annexation threats there and the pressure that the United States exert on Greenland and Denmark. It describes this pressure as "unacceptable" and emphasizes that both Greenland and Denmark will decisively disagree with an annexation. According to Krone , the Greenland government has not invited anyone to visit.

Trump himself describes his upcoming visit as a "sign of friendliness". At the same time, there are reports on the wife of the US Vice President, Usha Vance, who will travel to Greenland with her son and several companions on Thursday. During her stay, she plans visits to historical sites and participation in a dog sled race. She is accompanied by Mike Waltz, the national security advisor, and Minister of Energy Chris Wright, who are also part of the US delegation.

criticism from Denmark

In Denmark there is great concern about the real intentions of the United States. Frederiksen emphasizes that the upcoming visit is not worth it and that it is supposed to be not about Greenland's needs. Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lökke Rasmussen describes the annexation threats as inappropriate and criticizes sudden attention to the country.

aaja Chemnitz, a MP for Greenland in the Danish Parliament, explains that no official representative of Greenland was invited to the visits discussed and describes them as "completely unacceptable". This statement is supported by the Greenland government, which again confirms that nobody has officially invited the American guests.

Greenland's situation

Greenland, a region with around 57,000 inhabitants, is rich in unused raw materials and plays a strategic role in the geopolitical context. Greenland has achieved great autonomy in many areas since 1979, while Denmark continues to decide on foreign and defense policy. Trump has been expressing the desire to adopt Greenland for months, which has met with loud resistance in Greenland and Denmark. Protests against his return plans have already taken place in various cities in Greenland, including Nuuk.
