Danish PM says US is putting ‘unacceptable pressure’ on Greenland – video | Greenland

Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, said the US was exerting ‘unacceptable pressure’ on Greenland, ahead of an unsolicited visit by a US delegation to the semi-autonomous Danish territory. The visit will be led by Usha Vance, the wife of US vice-president, JD Vance, and includes the White House national security adviser, Mike Waltz, and the energy secretary, Chris Wright. President Donald Trump has reiterated his suggestion that the US should take over Greenland numerous times since he took office in January. ‘The visit is clearly not about what Greenland needs or wants,’ said Frederiksen. ‘President Trump is serious. He wants Greenland. Therefore, [this visit] cannot be seen independently of anything else’
