Greenland lambasts trip by US delegation

COPENHAGEN/WASHINGTON — Greenlandic leaders criticized an upcoming trip by a high-profile US delegation to the Danish territory that President Donald Trump has suggested the US should annex.

The delegation, which will visit a United States military base and watch a dogsled race, will be led by Usha Vance, wife of US Vice-President JD Vance, and include National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

Greenland's outgoing Prime Minister Mute Egede called this week's visit a "provocation" and said that his caretaker government would not meet the delegation.
