Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen spoke about the "unacceptable pressure" that the US exerts on Greenland and Denmark. The head of the Danish government said that the US visit plans "clearly do not concern Greenland's needs or wishes".
"President Trump is serious. He wants Greenland," says Frederiksen.
"Arctic travel has become part of global policy"
U.S. military aircraft flew to Greenland hours ago before Visiting the Vice president of the United States and his wife. The Vances are expected at the U.S. military base “Pituffik Space Base”, not in the capital, Nuuk.
Initially, a tour of the island was planned, but in the face of the discontent of its inhabitants and protests, the plan changed. Vice president of the USA and His wife Usha They realized that most Greenlandians did not want to see them on the island especially after Vance’s alternatively unsuccessful food shortly before his departure.
"Hey, guys, there was specified a fuss about Usha's visit to Greenland that I thought she shouldn't be playing alone, I'll go with her," said the vice president of the United States on a movie published on platform X.
Arctic travel has so become part of global policy. Greenland is almost 7 times bigger than Poland and is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Islanders have clearly shown in all erstwhile polls that they do not want to be included in the United States by Donald Trump.
“We cannot accept repeated statements of annexation and control of Greenland!”
In the run-up to the visit, the Greenland Government made it clear that it did not invitation anyone “either privately or officially”. Attempts to meet the Second woman with politicians in Greenland have already been rejected. The United States delegation is not welcome, but Mr and Mrs Vance clearly does not care.
"I'm visiting our military base. I'm going to check on the safety situation. As you know, many another countries endanger Greenland, endanger its territory, as well as its waterways," said the vice president of the United States, explaining why it intends to appear on the Danish island.
"We cannot accept repeated declarations of annexation and control of Greenland!" said the interim head of the Greenland government Mute B. Egede on behalf of the Greenlandese. This message seems to reflect the moods of the Arctic island today.
The opposition of the people of Greenland can be felt during average conversations.
— We do not request the US and we do not request Denmark either. We have fish, natural materials and tourism, and we can take care of ourselves,” says the 34 - year - old Li, a resident of the island.

The American military base Pitufik is located in the distant northwest of Greenland. It is of large importance for global rocket defence and space surveillance. Clearly, however, military presence is not enough.
Wednesday 27 March Donald Trump stated that Denmark should agree to hand Greenland over to the United States. The president of the United States says that America's safety and global order depend on Washington taking over the largest island of the world.
