  • The angry reaction was in response to an upcoming visit to the island by White House delegation led by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Second Lady Usha Vance.

The article discusses the controversy surrounding an upcoming visit by U.S. officials, including Senator J.D. Vance, to Greenland. The visit is perceived by Greenland's political leaders as a "clear provocation," especially in light of past tensions when former President Donald Trump expressed interest in purchasing Greenland from Denmark in 2019. Greenland's Foreign Minister, Pele Broberg, criticized the visit, suggesting it could be an attempt to revive discussions about U.S. strategic interests in the Arctic region.

The visit is seen as potentially undermining Greenland's autonomy and its relationship with Denmark, its former colonial power.
