According to her office, Vance will return on Thursday and Saturday. Vance and one of her three children will be part of the U.S. delegation that will “visit the historic sites” and “learn from Greenlandic heritage.”
Media reports in Greenland and Denmark say Vance will be accompanied by Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz. The White House and the National Security Council did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Trump muses on buying the world’s largest island during his first semester, even as NATO ally Denmark insists it’s not for sale. The people of Greenland also firmly rejected Trump’s plan.
Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that Trump “does not care” about the Europeans’ thoughts.
Denmark “does not do work” in Greenland, he said, “is not a good ally” and “if that means we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland, this is what President Trump will do,” Vance said on Fox News, which is “futures on Sunday morning”. “Because he doesn’t care about the European screaming at us, he cares about putting the interests of American citizens first,” Vance said.

In a recent Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump said that “Denmark is very far away” and questioned whether the country still has the right to claim the world’s largest island as part of its kingdom.

All five parties in Greenland Parliament issued a joint statement last week dismissing Trump’s remarks. Denmark recognized Greenland’s independence when choosing.
In addition to his concern for Greenland, Trump has also refused to rule out military intervention in Panama to retake the country’s canal, saying Canada should be the 51st state of the United States and suggested that U.S. interests could control Israel’s war-torn Gaza Strip and redevelop it into a “Riviera” seaside resort similar to “Riviera”.
