Amid intensified discussions over Greenland’s strategic importance, a high-level US delegation is set to visit the region this week. Led by Second Lady Usha Vance, the delegation includes National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. They plan to inspect a US military base and attend a traditional dog sled race. Brian Hughes stated, “We are confident that this visit will enhance mutual cooperation while respecting Greenland’s self-governance.” He emphasized that the visit is purely cultural and historical, dismissing any alternative interpretations. Denmark, however, has expressed concerns over the visit’s broader implications.

Greenland’s right-wing opposition parties have won the general elections, a race that gained international attention due to Donald Trump’s past interest in acquiring the territory.

With 90% of votes counted, election officials confirmed that the Democrats, who support gradual autonomy, secured 30% of the vote. The Naleraq party, which advocates for complete independence from Denmark and closer ties with the U.S., came in second with 25%. Meanwhile, the ruling Inuit Ataqatigiit, which supports full independence, finished third with 21% of the vote.
