Despite being the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit, he was not invited by the Greenlandic government, which feels justified in its criticism, especially given President Trump's previous interest in acquiring the territory. The initial schedule aimed to implement cultural engagements but was downgraded to a visit to a remote military installation due to protests organized by locals unhappy with the visit.
