Greenland PM slams upcoming visit from Usha Vance as 'very aggressive' provocation: report
Fox News
Greenland's Prime Minister described second lady Usha Vance's upcoming visit to his country as a dangerous and "very aggressive" provocation amid President Trump's threats to annex the country.
"We are now at a level where it can in no way be characterized as a harmless visit from a politician's wife, which is a prospect. Because what is the security advisor doing in Greenland?" Egede questioned in an interview with Greenland news outlet Sermitsiaq. "The only purpose is to show a demonstration of power to us, and the signal is not to be misunderstood. [Waltz] is Trump's confidential and closest advisor, and his presence in Greenland alone will certainly make the Americans believe in Trump's mission, and the pressure will increase after the visit."
Egede's condemnation of the trip from U.S. officials follows repeated calls by President Donald Trump for the U.S. to annex Greenland. Trump has stressed the importance of Greenland for national security purposes.
