Tue Mar 25 04:20:34 UTC 2025: ## Greenland Accuses US of Political Interference Amid High-Profile Visit

**Nuuk, Greenland** – Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede has accused the United States of interfering in its internal affairs following the announcement of a high-level US delegation’s visit to the autonomous territory this week. The visit, scheduled for Thursday to Saturday, includes Usha Vance, wife of US Vice President JD Vance, her son, and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, according to the White House.

Egede strongly criticized the visit, stating that it cannot be considered a private trip and that Greenland’s “integrity and democracy must be respected without foreign interference.” He emphasized that Washington had been informed that no official talks would occur until after the March 11 general elections, which resulted in his current caretaker government.

The visit comes amidst a backdrop of past attempts by former US President Donald Trump to acquire Greenland, including unsubstantiated suggestions of using force. Egede’s predecessor, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of the centre-right Democrats and likely future Prime Minister, also previously condemned Trump’s actions as inappropriate.

Egede’s statement underscores Greenland’s desire for self-determination. While polls indicate strong support for independence from Denmark, there is widespread opposition to annexation by the United States. Greenland possesses significant untapped mineral and oil reserves, though exploration of oil and uranium is currently prohibited. The visit follows a previous, shorter trip to Greenland by Donald Trump Jr. in early January. The current situation highlights the ongoing tension between Greenland’s pursuit of autonomy and external pressures from powerful nations.
