Highly Aggressive: Greenland Slams US 2nd Lady Usha Vance & Other Officials’ Upcoming Visit
In a strongly worded statement, Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede has hit out against the US over the upcoming visit by an American delegation, including Second Lady Usha Vance and National Security Advisor (NSA) Mike Waltz. The visit has been met with widespread criticism, with Egede labelling it “highly aggressive” and claiming that the only purpose of the trip is to “demonstrate power over us”.
The visit comes at a time when tensions between the US and Greenland are running high. In a recent interview, US President Donald Trump had vowed to take control of the autonomous Danish territory, which is home to a US military base at Thule Air Base. The move has been met with fierce resistance from Greenland’s government and citizens, who are determined to maintain their country’s independence.
Egede’s criticism of the US delegation’s visit is the latest in a series of diplomatic spats between the two countries. In recent months, Greenland has accused the US of violating its sovereignty by conducting military exercises in the country’s airspace and territorial waters. The US has also been accused of ignoring Greenland’s concerns over climate change, which is having a devastating impact on the country’s fragile ecosystem.
Despite the growing tensions, Egede’s criticism of the US delegation’s visit is particularly scathing. In a statement, he said: “The only purpose of this visit is to demonstrate power over us. It is a highly aggressive act, and we will not accept it.” He went on to accuse the US of trying to ” bully” Greenland into submission, saying: “We will not be intimidated by such behavior.”
Egede’s comments have been met with widespread support from the people of Greenland, who are determined to protect their country’s independence. In a recent poll, 80% of Greenlanders said they opposed the US taking control of the country, while 70% said they were opposed to the US military base at Thule Air Base.
The visit by the US delegation is seen as a significant escalation of tensions between the two countries. The US has a long history of interfering in Greenland’s affairs, and many Greenlanders see the US as a threat to their country’s sovereignty.
In recent years, the US has increased its military presence in Greenland, with the deployment of additional troops and equipment to the country. The move has been met with fierce resistance from Greenland’s government, which has accused the US of violating its sovereignty and threatening its national security.
The US has also been accused of trying to exert its influence over Greenland’s economy, with many Greenlanders believing that the US is seeking to take control of the country’s lucrative fishing industry. Greenland is one of the world’s largest producers of fish and seafood, and the country’s fishing industry is a vital part of its economy.
The US has also been accused of trying to influence Greenland’s politics, with many Greenlanders believing that the US is seeking to undermine the country’s democracy. In recent years, there have been several high-profile cases of US interference in Greenland’s politics, including the deployment of US-funded propaganda campaigns and the manipulation of Greenland’s media.
Despite the growing tensions, it remains to be seen whether the US delegation’s visit will go ahead as planned. The visit is seen as a significant escalation of tensions between the two countries, and many Greenlanders are determined to resist any attempts by the US to exert its influence over their country.
In conclusion, the upcoming visit by US Second Lady Usha Vance and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz to Greenland has been met with widespread criticism from the country’s government and citizens. Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede has labelled the visit “highly aggressive” and accused the US of trying to “demonstrate power over us”. The visit is seen as a significant escalation of tensions between the two countries, and many Greenlanders are determined to resist any attempts by the US to exert its influence over their country.
