The visit will be led by Usha Vance, wife of US vice president JD Vance, and include White House national security adviser Mike Waltz and energy secretary Chris Wright. President Donald Trump has reiterated his suggestion that the US should take over Greenland numerous times since he took office in January. ‘The visit is clearly not about what Greenland needs or wants,’ said Frederiksen. ‘President Trump is serious. He wants Greenland. Therefore, (this visit) cannot be seen independently of anything else’
