The United States has decided to limit its trip to Greenland to only visiting a military base, following tension between Washington and Copenhagen. Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen described a scheduled visit by Usha Vance, the wife of vice president JD Vance, to a dog-sled race in Greenland as “unacceptable pressure” on the territory. Frederiksen stated that despite the pressure, Denmark will resist any attempts to influence the territory. President Trump’s interest in Greenland has been a point of contention, with him suggesting that the US could annex the territory. However, the White House has now confirmed that the visit will be restricted to the US base at Pituffik in northern Greenland, a move that Danish foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen described as a de-escalation. Greenland has been under Danish control for centuries, and any changes to its legal status would require a constitutional amendment due to its status as subject to the Danish constitution. The limited US visit to Greenland is seen as a positive step towards easing tensions between the two countries.
