Greenland slams visit by US officials and Usha Vance as 'foreign interference'

Beskrivelse

Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede accused Washington on Monday of interfering in its political affairs by sending a US delegation to the Danish territory, which is coveted by US President Donald Trump for its rare resources.

Ulrik Pram Gad of the Danish Institute for International Studies called the visit an "aggressive move" by Washington.

"They haven't been invited by Greenlanders. They haven't been invited by the Danes. They just announced that they will go," he told AFP.

Greenland's political parties are currently in the process of negotiating a new coalition government following the election, which the centre-right Democrats won.

"Normally, as a friend or ally, you would stay out of that," Pram Gad said.
