Usha Vance to visit Greenland on Thursday

Mar 24, 2025

Copenhagen [Denmark], March 24: The wife of Vice President JD Vance, Usha Vance, is to travel to Greenland this week, the White House confirmed on Sunday, amid fears of a possible US takeover of the territory.
Vance's visit comes just weeks after President Donald Trump's son travelled to the strategically located and resource-rich Arctic island.
According to the White House, Vance will travel to Greenland on Thursday with her son and a US delegation. She will visit historical sites, learn more about Greenlandic heritage and attend a traditional dog sled race in the town of Sisimiut, it said. The race begins on Saturday, when Vance is scheduled to return to the United States.
Citing anonymous sources, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten and broadcasters DR and TV 2 reported that Vance will be joined by Trump's National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, however the US has not officially confirmed this.
According to the reports, the US government requested official meetings with Danish and Greenlandic representatives, which were denied.
Trump has been talking about wanting to seize control of Greenland for months, and has not ruled out using military force. He often justifies this on the grounds of national and international security, apparently viewing the semi-autonomous territory as a strategic prize. (DPA)
