Summary

Greenland’s prime minister, Múte B Egede, condemned the planned visit by Usha Vance, Mike Waltz, and US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, calling it “foreign interference” and urging international support against American pressure.

The visit, seen as a charm offensive amid ongoing coalition talks, sparked local outrage, with Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of Greenland’s Democrats, criticizing the US for disrespecting Greenland’s sovereignty.

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emphasized cooperation with the US based on respect for sovereignty.

Extra Danish police have been deployed to Greenland ahead of the visit.
