Nuuk, Greenland - Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede has publicly criticized the planned visit of U.S. Second Lady Usha Vance, labeling it a "very aggressive" provocation. In an interview with local media, Egede expressed concerns about the timing and purpose of the visit, suggesting it could be seen as an attempt to exert undue influence over Greenland.
"We value our relationship with the United States, but this visit feels like a step too far," Egede stated. "It's important that our sovereignty is respected, and this feels like a very aggressive move."
The U.S. State Department has yet to respond to Egede's comments. Details of Vance's itinerary remain undisclosed, but it is believed she plans to discuss climate change and economic development with Greenlandic officials. This event could potentially strain relations between the two nations, especially given Greenland's strategic importance in the Arctic region.
