Second Lady Usha Vance is scheduled to visit Greenland this week, coinciding with President Trump's continued insinuations about U.S. control over the mineral-rich island. Trump's remarks during a Cabinet meeting emphasized the visit's friendly nature, while Greenland's Prime Minister Muté Bourup Egede expressed concerns of 'American aggression' and criticized the disturbances caused by the visit. Vance's itinerary includes cultural engagement and participation in local events, but there will be no formal meetings due to the transitional state of the Greenland government, leading to calls for unity among allies.
The visit of "the wife of the United States vice president and the United States president's highest security adviser cannot be seen only as a private visit," he said.
Trump insisted during a Cabinet meeting that Second Lady Usha Vance's Greenland visit is about "friendliness, not provocation."
Egede acknowledged Sunday on Facebook that there is worry on the island, calling for unity and support from Greenland's allies.
Trump's conciliatory tone on Monday comes as Greenland's prime minister warned of "American aggression" and lamented a "mess" caused by the upcoming visit.
