Yesterday several transport planes landed in Nook with armored trucks in preparation for Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance, arriving for a visit. This happen at a time where president Trump repeatedly states that he want to take over Greenland.
Personally I think of this visit as a form of pressure and to show genuine interest, despite the claims that she just want to see the sights. With her comes the minister of energy, Chris Wright and the national security adviser Mike Waltz. I am not so sure she would have those two with her if she just was there to see historic places, look at the Avannaata Qimussersu dogsledding race and to learn about the history of Greenland.
The sitting government refuse to meet the delegation as they are in a transit period between two governments. Greenland just had an election and the winners have yet to form a new government. Both the previous and the new government that is taking office soon is both negative to coming under the US. In fact they rule it out entirely and want to work toward being an independent nation without even ties to Denmark.
The sitting government has made it clear to Trump via diplomatic and democratic ways but it doesn’t sink in with him that they don’t want anything to do with Trump or the US.
It is concerning that the US as an ally to Denmark just flat out say they want to take over territory that belong to Denmark. They continue to put pressure even after the inhabitants of Greenland has said blatantly NO during the recent election. They do not want to be under US rule. Frankly I can’t see why anyone would want to be under the US, as it would remove rights to school, free hospitals, equality for the indigenous people etc. Just look at how the US has treated the Native American population.
One thing is certain tho. The US is no longer a trustworthy ally in any capacity. The threats about taking Panama with force and the statements about making Canada the 51st state is saying enough. Canada is a trusted ally in NATO that suddenly had the president of another NATO country saying they want to take over their country? I think we can safely say the US is no longer an ally in anything but name.
