US Delegation Visits Greenland Amid Acquisition Interest

A U.S. delegation, including Second Lady Usha Vance, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright, visited Greenland. The visit occurred after President Trump expressed interest in U.S. acquisition of the territory. Greenland's Prime Minister, Mute Egede, characterized the visit as "aggressive pressure" and called for respect for Greenland's integrity. The U.S. National Security Council stated the visit aimed to learn about Greenlandic culture and build partnerships, emphasizing respect for self-determination and economic cooperation. Trump previously suggested U.S. ownership of Greenland, citing national security and mineral wealth. Egede stated the visit "cannot be seen only as a private visit," stressing the need to respect Greenland's democracy without external interference.
