Greenland is preparing for an unpleasant visit of the US Vice President star-news.press/wp

BBC News in Nuuk, Greenland, Washington DC and Copenhagen
A large delegation of American officials will spend on Friday at a remote military basis in Greenland in what is considered the latest move of American, because it enhances its desire to acquire Danish territory.
The American group includes JD Vance Vice President and his wife, Usha, a Counselor for National Security White House Michael Waltz, Secretary of the Energy Chris Wright and the Republic Senator Mike Lee of Utah.
The trip indicates the latest turn in what became an entangled diplomatic trip that started what was originally charged as a private tour of the American Second Lady.
Usha Vance should just travel to Greenland, a half-moon part of Denmark, with his son to attend cultural events, like a dog race and spend a while visiting NUUK.
But the visit quickly attracted the supervision. While the journey was originally framed as a cultural tour, the safety preparation scale enabled it clear that it was something bigger. Greenlanders clearly gave, they would protest the presence of Mrs. Vance.
The visit raised his eyebrows in the light of the president of the repeated comments Donald Trump that would like to approach Mineral Rich Greenland, who says it is critical for American security.
Then he would be announced that Valcer, the Trump’s National Security Advisor, joined the delegation visited by the island, the people of Greenland and Denmark grows more inconveniently.
American visits began to look less as cultural interaction and more as an effort to interfere in the internal policy of the island by gathering support for closer ties with the US population – to the detriment of Danish sovereignty.
Greenland Glumer Prime Minister Mute B Egede said it was a “provocation” and “demonstration of power”, and asked the international community to strengthen.
“Only for the minutes, Greenland’s government has not expanded any invitation for any visits, neither private nor official,” Egege said.
Ordinary Greenlanders also knew their dissatisfaction, promising that the U.S. delegation would not receive a warm welcome.
In Sisimiut, where the annual dog race is held, the mayor refused to establish a meeting with another lady, stating the municipal elections next week as a reason. And the silent protest was planned and which would see that locals turn their backs to American visitors – a potentially public clumsy situation and bad optics for Mrs. Vance.
“The American administration could see that they headed for PR disaster,” said the political analyst Noah Redington.
“They set out for the charm of a charm without charm,” he said. “With people are absolutely not satisfied to see the Usha Vance or any other American politicians.”
He was announced only two days after the Usho Vance’s trip, the cultural plan was rejected, replaced by one visit to the remote American military installation – a pituffic space base. And now it would join the vice-presidential out.
The Valcer was no longer listed on the Itinerary, even though he added once again.

“Leaders in America and in Denmark, I mean, neglected Greenland for too long,” JD Vance said, announcing his visit. “That was bad for Greenland. It was also bad for the security of the whole world. We think we can take things in another direction.”
Despite its comments, political leaders in Denmark carefully welcomed the change in the plan, and especially the limitations of itineraries only in the American base only.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lars Rasmussen said, while the presence of the vice president can increase the form of the visit, it was actually a “masterpiece” that the USA seemed to actually show. “
“I actually think it’s very positive for Americans to cancel the Greenlandic community visit. Instead will visit his own base, Pituffik, and we have nothing against it,” he said.
Vance is the highest American official ever visited Greenland and while the limited range of travel is satisfied Denmark, the fact that he underlines a high level of interest on the island is on the island.
Sam American president continued to repeat the desire to gain Greenland for national reasons, saying Wednesday that the United States would “go as much” to achieve that goal.
According to Michael Williams, he seems to be a professor of international politics at the University of Ottawi, and Trump Focus on Greenland reflects a greater international strategy that includes and stated over key territories in his sphere of geographical influence.
Canada and Greenland, and early objectives of interest to administration, occupy key arctic navigation paths that challenge other global forces, such as Russia and China.
Recent American moves could be viewed as an attempt to obtain a large hand in these strategic regions of the North American.
“You want to reinforce the American presence in the north and its control over the north reaches,” Williams said.
“If you can do it, then you can actually potentially control these northwear in a much more direct way than ever needed.”
