Vance's trip is unlikely to go down well on the island and with Denmark, with the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen saying that the US is exerting 'unacceptable pressure'.
JD Vance will visit Greenland with his wife amidst growing tensions between the US, Greenland, and Denmark. Vance criticizes Greenland's defense support and accuses Europe of "free-loading." Greenland and Denmark condemn the US approach as "aggressive," with Denmark's Prime Minister calling US pressure "unacceptable." Vance will only visit the US Space Base at Pituffik in northern Greenland, avoiding other parts of the country, which Denmark sees as a diplomatic win.
