The visit comes as President Donald Trump has repeatedly talked about annexing Greenland or taking it under American control.
Greenland’s government posted on Facebook Monday night, March 24, that it had “not extended any invitations for any visits, neither private nor local.”
JD Vance will visit the U.S. military base in Greenland, which will erase some questions about protocol.
Greenland is now regarded as a strategic territory and gateway to the Arctic and North Atlantic, attracting interest from China and Russia. Officially, it is a self-governing region of Denmark, the world’s largest island, rich in minerals.
