Greenland has established a new unity government just before a visit from U.S. Senator J.D. Vance, who is part of a delegation from the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee. The new government, led by Prime Minister MĂște B. Egede, includes members from both his Inuit Ataqatigiit party and the Siumut party, aiming to address critical issues like economic development, climate change, and geopolitical tensions.
