A controversial U.S. delegation visit to Greenland, led by Usha Vance and soon joined by her husband, Vice President J.D. Vance, has drawn sharp criticism from Greenlandic and Danish leaders.
“Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it’s important to protecting the security of the entire world,” Vance explained in a video shared on X.
