Usha Vance to Lead U.S. Delegation to Greenland as Trump Pursues Strategic Interests

The second lady's upcoming visit highlights the administration's focus on Greenland, despite firm opposition from Greenlandic and Danish leaders.

Second lady Usha Vance will visit Greenland from March 27 to March 29, accompanied by U.S. officials including National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
The visit is officially framed as a cultural and diplomatic mission, with plans to attend Greenland's national dogsled race and explore historical sites.
President Trump has renewed his push to acquire Greenland, citing national and international security concerns, a stance Greenlandic and Danish leaders have rejected outright.
Greenland's recent election saw the opposition party favoring gradual independence emerge victorious, though coalition negotiations are ongoing.
The U.S. delegation's visit will also include a tour of a military base, underscoring Greenland's strategic importance in global geopolitics.
