Greenland's PM calls planned visit by US Second Lady, security advisor âhighly aggressiveâ
Greenlandâs Prime Minister MĂşte Egede has criticized the United States' planned delegation trip, calling it âhighly aggressive.â The wife of US Vice President JD Vance, Usha Vance, is planning to travel to Greenland in time for their famed dogsled race. US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is also expected to visit around the same time. After US President Donald Trump announced his intention to annex Greenland earlier this month, Egede believes the scheduled visit by the US officials is about demonstrating power over the territory. âHis mere presence in Greenland will no doubt fuel American belief in Trumpâs missionâand the pressure will increase,â he said in a statement. Why is Greenland of such importance to Trump? Without a doubt, one major reason for the US presidentâs desire to annex the territory is Greenlandâs natural resources. Indeed, as the race to locate a new source of critical minerals presses on, world leaders are turning their attention to a previously untapped resource: the ground that sits under the Greenland Ice Sheet. Experts believe that beneath the great expanses of ice that covers 80% of Greenland, there may lie an abundance of valuable minerals that could come in handy in the years to come. Curious?
