Greenland leaders call visit by US officials this week a ‘provocation’ that shows a ‘lack of respect’ – US politics live

Outgoing PM says Greenland can no longer trust Americans before visit led by Usha Vance and Mike Waltz

Danish police have sent extra personnel and sniffer dogs to Greenland as the icy island steps up security measures ahead of a planned visit this week by second lady Usha Vance, AP reports.

The extra officers, deployed the day before, were part of regular steps taken during visits by dignitaries to Greenland, a self-governing, mineral-rich territory of American ally Denmark, a spokesperson said.
