Greenland\u2019s prime minister and Denmark\u2019s foreign minister both denounced the visit, announced for this week by Trump\u2019s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, and Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance. &#8220;This is friendliness, not provocation,&#8221; Trump told reporters at the end of a cabinet meeting. Trump insisted that the visit was at the invitation of Greenland, where an independence movement has been seeking to break away from Denmark, but where polls show little support for joining the United States. &#8220;We\u2019ve been invited, and they really like the idea, because they have been somewhat abandoned,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;And I think Greenland\u2019s going to be something that maybe is in our future. I think it\u2019s important. It\u2019s important from the standpoint of international security,&#8221; he said. Trump has repeatedly refused to rule out the use of force to obtain Greenland. Trump administration officials point to the rising presence of Russia and China on the mineral-rich island, where sea lanes have opened up due to climate change. Greenland is forming a government after an election victory by the centre-right Democrats, whose leader, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has called Trump\u2019s Greenland ambitions &#8220;inappropriate.&#8221; The White House earlier said in a statement that Usha Vance hoped to &#8220;learn about Greenlandic culture&#8221; and would attend a dog-sledding race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has defended a planned visit by his delegation to Greenland, rejecting criticism from Denmark and insisting the trip is an act of goodwill rather than a provocation.
