Greenland: Prime Minister, US delegation visit provocation, we no longer trust

Turin, 24th Mar. (LaPresse) – Greenland's leaders have criticised the imminent trip of a high-level US delegation to the island. This was reported by USA Today. The delegation will be led by Usha Vance, wife of Vice-President JD Vance, and will include White House National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Outgoing Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede called the visit a ‘provocation’ and said his government would not meet with the delegation. ‘Until recently, we could trust the Americans, who were our allies and friends, and with whom we enjoyed a close relationship’, the premier told the local newspaper Sermitsiaq, “but those days are over”. Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of the Demokraatit party, winner of the last parliamentary elections, called for political unity and declared that the visit of the US delegation, in the middle of coalition negotiations and with municipal elections scheduled for next week, ‘shows once again a lack of respect for the Greenlandic people’.
