Greenland PM slams upcoming visit from Usha Vance as 'very aggressive' provocation: report

Egede's condemnation of the trip from U.S. officials follows repeated calls by President Donald Trump for the U.S. to annex Greenland. Trump has stressed the importance of Greenland for national security purposes. 

The leader of the new party in charge has expressed disdain for Trump, calling him "a threat to our political independence," according to NPR.     

"If they do not speak out loudly about how the USA is treating Greenland, the situation will escalate day by day, and the American aggression will increase. So, we need our other allies to clearly and distinctly come with their support and backing for us," he said. 

Egede added during the interview that Greenland has done "everything" to show that "through [the United States'] continued pressure they are violating us as a population and our sovereignty," adding that the visit from Vance and Waltz represented a dangerous and "very aggressive" provocation in the ongoing saga.
