The latest news on Greenland. United States Vice President JD Vance has stirred further debate by announcing his decision to accompany his wife, Usha Vance, on her upcoming trip to Greenland later this week.
While the visit was initially criticised by both Greenlandic and Danish leaders, Vance framed his participation as a personal decision to join Usha, adding that he wanted to evaluate Greenland's security in light of threats from other countries.
The visit will concentrate on the US military facility, Pituffik Space Base, after protests caused a shift in plans. Historically significant and tied to past controversies, the base's security role is central to the US's strategy in the Arctic.
However, Vance's involvement only raises more questions about United States intentions in Greenland, a territory still under Danish sovereignty. For now, it remains to be seen how this visit will alter the geopolitical dynamics of the region.
