US Vice President JD Vance he informed that on Friday he would accompany the American delegation of “High Rank” at Greenland.
On Monday, it was said that the wife of a politician would fly to the island Usha Vance and adviser to Donald Trump for national security Mike Waltz. According to some reports, it was supposed to be a “private trip”, but Vance seems to dispel doubts with its Tuesday statement.
Greenland and the USA. JD Vance will fly to the island
Vance stated in a recording published on social media that the visit of his wife Usha aroused so much excitement that “I don't want her to play so well” And he decided to join her.
The vice president announced that he would visit space forces stationed on the island and “Check what is happening with safety in Greenland”.
– Many foreign countries threatened Greenland, threatened to use its territories and waterways to threaten the United States, threaten Canada and of course threaten the inhabitants of Greenland. So sreal, how do things are there Vance said.
He declared that he wants with President Donald Trump “revive the safety of the inhabitants of Greenland”.

The announced visit of the US delegation in Greenland was critically received by Greenland and Danish authorities. According to the PO Prime Minister Greenland, Mute B. Egede, the visit of the American delegation is “interference” in the country's internal affairs.
The journey in sharp words was also described by the political commentator “Ekstra Bladet”, which he called her “unprecedented provocation”.
According to Hans Engella, statements about a private trip or about dog sled races are “ridiculous translation”. On March 29, Vance is to watch the Avannaata Qimussersua dog sled race, which is an important event for the Greenland identity.
Engell said the USA did not send Mike Waltz to Greenland for no reason. – He is a great adviser and a hard player. If they appointed it, then in order to send Greenland and Danish politicians strong signal – he said.

Engell has no doubt – a visit referred to as private “American escalation of the dispute over Greenland”. “The countdown to a great clash in Greenland has begun,” we read.

“Seemingly only a trip. Later, it turned out that everything was organized to show that the Greenlanders love Donald Trump, “Dahlerup's words were quoted.
President Donald Trump in recent weeks has repeatedly stated that he wants The takeover of Greenland by the USA.
