Greenland officials express concern over perceived US interference ahead of Usha Vance visit
ai generated text
Greenland's Prime Minister, Mute B. Egede, has expressed criticism towards an upcoming US delegation's visit, labeling it "highly aggressive". The trip is scheduled to take place from Thursday to Saturday, and will be led by Usha Vance, wife of US Vice President JD Vance. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright may also join the visit, according to CNN.
I have to say that it is unacceptable pressure being placed on Greenland and Denmark in this situation. And it is pressure that we will resist.
You can't organise a private visit with official representatives of another country.
It is clearly not a visit that is about what Greenland needs or what Greenland wants from a visit. Therefore, no matter how we twist it, it is a completely unacceptable pressure on Greenland, the Greenlandic politicians and the Greenlandic population, but it is also on Denmark and thus the kingdom.
We are now at a level where it can in no way be characterized as a harmless visit from a politician's wife.
We must stand together and stand up against unacceptable treatment. Because we are the ones who decide our own future.
What is the national security adviser doing in Greenland? The only purpose is to demonstrate power over us.
It should be said clearly that our integrity and democracy must be respected without foreign interference. The visit cannot be seen just as a private one.
His mere presence in Greenland will no doubt fuel American belief in Trump's mission — and the pressure will increase.
If that means we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland, that is what President Trump is going to do. Because he doesn't care about what the Europeans scream at us.
Denmark has been a great ally. They've served with us in the Middle East. They've been key contributors to Ukraine. Greenland is also our ally. We have a great base there and they're willing to partner more. Let's be a better ally and not a bully in our own right.
Divide and rule is being used extremely towards Greenland and fear-mongering about the United States. And especially Donald Trump is framed as the big villain, big bad wolf, here.
They haven't been invited by Greenlanders. They haven't been invited by the Danes. They just announced that they will go.
