US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha are scheduled for a one-day visit to a US military base in Greenland, following backlash for an initially proposed public schedule that sparked unrest among Greenlanders and Danes. Their trip to the Pituffik Space Force outpost is a response to concerns that their former itinerary disregarded local sentiments and diplomatic protocols. The visit comes amid strained relations attributed to President Trump's previous comments suggesting annexation of the resource-rich territory, prompting local protests and a new coalition government in Greenland to form in response.
Due to public outcry regarding Vance’s original itinerary, the diplomat effectively limited the trip to the Pituffik Space Base to respect diplomatic customs.
Following President Trump's controversial remarks about annexing Greenland, local sentiment has turned against the US, as residents organize protests and political parties unite.
