Greenland’s leaders strongly opposed visits by Usha Vance and Trump’s National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, calling them aggressive and disrespectful. Outgoing PM Mute Egede criticized Waltz’s trip as a power move, while likely successor Jens-Frederik Nielsen accused the US of lacking respect. The visits follow Trump’s renewed interest in Greenland, including remarks about potential annexation. The White House claims Vance's visit aims to celebrate Greenlandic culture, but local politicians remain skeptical. Trump recently suggested Greenland could join the US, sparking backlash. Polls show 80% of Greenlanders support independence from Denmark but reject US affiliation. (PC: Getty Images)
