Relations between Greenland and the United States sank on Sunday, as Prime Minister Greenland erupted about what he called a “very aggressive” delegation from senior officials, the Trump administration said it would be sent to the island this week.
Osha Vans, the second lady, and Michael Valle, National Security Adviser, are among the officials heading to the island, a semi -protected area in Denmark, although President Trump has pledged to make him part of the United States “in one way or another.”
Mrs. Vance will present a series of cultural stations after her arrival on Thursday, separate from Mr. Waltz. The National Security Adviser is supposed to travel early in the week with US Energy Minister Chris Wright.
Prime Minister Mute B. egee said on Sunday that Greenlands’s efforts to be a diplomacy only “bounced on and managed by Donald Trump in his mission to possess and control Greenland.”
Make notes, more angry, To Greenland On Sunday, a high -level member of his party confirmed them. The Prime Minister looked particularly annoyed by Mr. Waltz’s involvement.
“What does the National Security Adviser in Greenland do?” He asked. “The only purpose is to show strength on us.”
He added: “His presence in Greenland will undoubtedly lead to an American belief in Trump’s mission – and pressure will increase.”
Other Greenland officials complained about the timing of the unintended visit, noting that Greenland has just held parliamentary elections and that a new government had not even been formed.
“The fact that the Americans are well aware that we are in the middle of the negotiations,” said Jenus Friedrich Nielsen, the most popular political party leader, said.
Greenlands has become increasingly cautious about Mr. Trump’s intentions. A modern poll I found that the vast majority of people on the island, which are located along the Arctic Ocean and are often covered with ice, do not want to become part of the United States. However, many have expressed the desire to improve relations with Washington. Until now, most Greenland officials have tried to walk on a thin line, confirming their sovereignty while avoiding giving Mr. Trump.
The Trump administration made the visit as a friendly, saying in a statement on Sunday that Mrs. Vens will travel with one of her children on Thursday and attend the national siblings race.
The statement said: “Mrs. Vans and the delegation are excited to see this huge race and celebrate culture and green unity.”
Excellencies, Mr. Waltz is expected to take a tour at an American military base, two US officials said. The United States has a small missile defense base in the northern part of the island and has kept the forces in Greenland since World War II.
Mr. Wright, the Minister of Energy for Mr. Trump, is expected to join Mr. Waltz to see al -Qaeda, according to another person aware of the visit, as the Trump administration is rare of land minerals and other resources in Greenland. Possible lucrative resources are spread throughout the island, but harsh weather, environmental scientists, and other factors, have eased the hopes of widespread operations.
A senior administration official may also visit, according to one of the officials, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss the trip.
A spokesman for Mr. Waltz did not respond to a request for comment.
A White House spokesman did not answer a question about whether the officials had been invited.
Mr. Trump continued to increase his talk about Greenland’s seizure, which is part of an expansionist mentality in his second term, which also targeted Canada and Panama channel. Mr. Trump in particular talked about both meetings during his first term, and some of his advisers explored the idea of Greenland, which was a national proposal in the United States for decades.
Soon after his election in 2024, he began pushing advisers to find a way to make the acquisition of the Greenland’s acquisition. Soon the idea of restoring Panama channel was followed.
Greenland has been connected to Denmark for more than 300 years. The Danish colonized it, but over time they folded it in Denmark, which gave Greenlanders more autonomy to operate their own affairs.
On Sunday, the Prime Minister of Denmark, Metty Friedriksen, explained that Denmark or Greenland had requested flights.
“It is not possible to see a visit to the United States in isolation from the general data made,” said Ms. Friedrixen. “This is something we take seriously,” she added.
This will be the second individual journey of Mrs. Vans internationally as a second lady. The other was a visit this month to Italy, which leads the American delegation to the global winter games of the Olympics.
Mr. Edge was not placed in his position in Mrs. Vans announced to accommodate the green culture.
“We are now at a stage that can no longer describe it as an innocent visit by a political wife,” he said, adding that “the international community must interact now.”
