Greenland: ‘We’ll not greet you’ – Denmark reacts to JD Vance, wife’s visit

Published on March 28, 2025 at 02:37 PM

A Denmark government official has told the US vice-president, JD Vance, and his wife Usha to stay back in the US and not bother about visiting Greenland.

The couple are due to touch down in Greenland on Friday.

Their trip was drastically scaled down after the original plans for the visit prompted an international diplomatic row.

They will now visit Pituffik, a remote ice-locked US military base in northwestern Greenland.

The Guardian UK reports that this visit will be closely watched by leaders in Nuuk and Copenhagen who have aired their opposition to the trip.

This is amid ongoing threats by the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, to acquire Greenland.

Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.

“It’s safe to say we would rather not have him [Vance] in Greenland,”; a government source in Copenhagen said as quoted by the Guardian.

Trump has insisted that the US will “go as far as we have to go”; to gain control of the island which he claimed the US “needs”; for national and international security.

The Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, on Thursday responded to Trump’s comments, saying: “Greenland is part of the Danish kingdom. That is not going to change… Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.”;

Meanwhile, Denmark Foreign Affairs Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen has warned that Vance would not be greeted by Danish politicians at Pituffik because “it has nothing to do with us”;.

“This is about an American vice-president who is going to visit his own military installation in Greenland. It has nothing to do with us,”; he said.
