Vance’s Greenland Trip Sparks Outrage Amidst Accusations of Blackmail
U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s planned Greenland trip with his wife has been significantly scaled back, from a multi-day cultural visit to a single-day visit to the U.S. Pituffik Space Base. This revised plan, welcomed by Denmark, avoids the controversy surrounding the original itinerary, which Greenland’s government deemed provocative. The change reduces the potential for protests and de-escalates tensions following President Trump’s statements about acquiring Greenland. While Vance’s visit will still make him the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit Greenland, the focus is now solely on security matters at the U.S. military installation.
