MSNBC Foreign Correspondent Hits Vances With A Harsh Truth About Their Greenland Trip
HuffPost
The message from locals is clear, said Molly Hunter.
MSNBC foreign correspondent Molly Hunter delivered a blunt reality check Thursday about the Trump administration’s overtures toward Greenland, as Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance prepared to visit the country on Friday.
Reporting live from the capital city of Nuuk, Hunter said, “We have met no one in the 18 hours that we’ve been on the ground who has been enthusiastic about this trip.”
Originally planned as a “cultural tour” led by Usha Vance, the visit has been “scaled back” and reframed as a national security trip, with a stop at a U.S. Space Control base, and now includes the vice president himself, said Hunter.
“No one was particularly enthusiastic” about being part of Usha Vance’s trip, she said.
Speaking with locals, Hunter said the revised itinerary was now seen as more appropriate. “No one felt particularly angry that they [the Vances] were going to meet with” U.S. military personnel, she said.
