President Donald Trump has doubled down on his push for the United States to annex Greenland. "We need Greenland, very importantly for international security," Trump said at the White House on Friday.
On a March 28 trip to the U.S. military's Pituffik Space Base, Vice President JD Vance said Greenland could benefit from being under the U.S. security umbrella.
The couple will now visit the U.S. Space Force outpost at Pituffik, instead of Usha Vance’s previously announced solo trip to the Avannaata Qimussersu dogsled race in Sisimiut.
The agreement was reached ahead of Vice President JD Vance 's arrival on the Arctic island on Friday. He and second lady Usha Vance are expected to visit the Pituffik Space Base on a scaled-back version of a trip that had angered officials in Greenland and Denmark.
Leaders in Greenland had viewed the second lady’s trip as an escalation in President Donald Trump’s push for the United States to annex Greenland, and adding the vice president to the trip signals a more serious tone from the White House.
