Tensions between Greenland and the U.S. continue to escalate as Prime Minister Mute Egede criticized an aggressive delegation led by national security adviser Michael Waltz. Egede expressed concerns that the U.S. seeks to control Greenland amidst President Trump's controversial plans to integrate the island into the U.S. While the Trump administration claims the visit is friendly, including a presence by the second lady, Greenlandic officials are wary, balancing their sovereignty with the need to avoid provoking the administration.
"Relations between Greenland and the U.S. deteriorated further yesterday as Mute Egede, the island's prime minister, erupted over what he called a highly aggressive delegation of senior officials that the Trump administration plans to send there this week."
"Greenlanders' effort to be diplomatic just bounces off Donald Trump and his administration in their mission to own and control Greenland, Egede said."
"The Trump administration has presented the visit as friendly, saying in a statement that Vance would travel with one of her children and attend a national dog sled race."
