The American delegation was refused. The three -day trip is a quick visit
No one invited the American delegation.
Nuuk, BRATISLAVA. In recent days of several inhabitants of the Greenland capital, the surprising knocking on the door has been stopped. Representatives of the American delegation behind them came up with a meeting with Usha Vance, wife of American Vice President JD Vance.
« The answer was the same everywhere: no, thank you, » said Greenland’s TV2 Jesper Jesper Steinmet.
This, but also the spread of lies and deliberate intimidation contributed to the failure of the unsolicited visit of the US delegation at a time when US President Donald Trump They do not hide their intention to obtain the autonomous Danish territory under its control.
Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen accused the US of exerting « unacceptable » pressure on Greenland and Denmark on Tuesday, while according to Greenland Prime Minister of Mour Egye, it was a « aggressive » effort to seize the Arctic island.
However, Trump, who likes to return to the debate on the acquisition of the Danish territory, said that the US delegation was invited by Greenland officials. « The Greenks ask us to come, » Trump said.
However, the Greenland government almost immediately declared that Trump’s administration did not send any invitation. « Just for the record, Naalakkersuisut, the Greenland government, did not invite any visits, » she said in a social network post.
Vance claimed that she had an invitation to Greenland from the sponsor of the dog’s sled race Tom Dansa, who in the past worked for Trump’s administration. Dans on Facebook later said that the visit was always intended in a friendly spirit.
Originally a three -day trip of the American delegation, which was supposed to include participation in the dog’s sled races or a tour of historical sites in the capital, after the critical statements of the Greenland Prime Minister and the Danish Prime Minister, they significantly disturbed.
However, the participation in the business trip subsequently announced VANCE. On Friday, Greenland will fly to Greenland, but only visit the American military base Pituffik. According to TV CNN This is how Vance is trying to alleviate the conflict between the two countries.

Traditional visit
Pipaluk Lynge, chairwoman of the Foreign and Security Policy of Greenland, also alerted the false claims of Trump’s administration.
Lynge also added that the arrival of Vance was to be accompanied by a protest. « We protest politically like Greenland, » she told the magazine Politico. It would be a further expression of resistance to Trump’s declared desire to take control of Greenland.
Trump’s statements met in Greenland with violent resistance. According to surveys, the vast majority of Greencans who prefer independence from Denmark are against the US connection.
However, the dispute, which arose between the US and Denmark, seems to be over now, even though the delegation eventually joins the highest -built representative of Trump’s administration ever visited.

« I have to speak diplomatically, but in many ways it is a master turn. It looks like they escalate when they actually deecal, » said Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen.
The US is simply trying to create a feeling of strength by the presence of Vanussen, and the visit is actually much more traditional.
« It is positive that Americans disturb the visit of the Greenland community and visit (only) the American base of Pituffik, » Rasmussen said, saying that the Danes do not object to it in any way.
The American base of Pituffik, located on the Arctic Circle, is crucial for the US President. Trump plans to build an American Golden Doma defense system to protect the US from missile attacks according to the Israeli defense system. Pittuf is part of his plans.
The Vance family was also supposed to be accompanied by the White House Advisor for National Security Mike Waltz, but in the meantime he found himself in the middle of the Signalgate scandal in which security data leaks. Waltz’s career is currently at risk.

However, according to former member of Trump’s administration Andrew Horn, the Danes interpreted the reason for the American delegation to visit Greenland.
« The intention was to demonstrate the determination (Americans) to support Greenland’s safety, but it was manipulated by a number of noise coming from Denmark, » he told the daily The Guardian Horn. « Vance is now trying to keep a visit to a traditional extent. »
Horn, which is currently invested in Greenland minerals, added that the visit was not intended to influence the new Greenland government.
However, both Denmark and Greenland officials criticized the timing that came in the midst of the coalition negotiations.
In March, the Greencans voted in the key parliamentary elections, the results of which showed the interest of voters in the independence of the island. Greenland, a former Danish colony, is a territory belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark, whose foreign and security policy is managed by the Danish government.
Both Copenhagen and Nuuk called a change in the American delegation’s plans as a diplomatic victory.
However, he also accused the Danish media of Broberg, the leader of the Greenland Party Naleraq, which is friendly to Trump’s administration. « Basically, we have more or less missed a chance for a normal US relationship. Of course I hope I’m wrong, » he told Sermitsiaq. Naleraq left coalition talks on Monday.

At the same time, Trump’s administration offers Greenland a vision of wealth.
Ulrik Pram Gad, a researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies, said that the Greenland authorities are willing to trade US companies, but added that Trump’s strategy to send a high -ranking US delegation to Greenland.
Most Greenland citizens seem to be a manifestation of dominance.
« If it’s an attempt at some soft diplomacy, it failed, » he told TV USA Today Gad, with the fact that every time Trump tells the Greeners that he wants them to get rich, he adds that Greenland will get one or another.
