SUMMARY
The White House announced that Second Lady Usha Vance will travel to Greenland on March 27, marking the highest-profile visit yet under the Trump administration’s renewed focus on the Danish territory. Accompanied by her son and a U.S. delegation, Vance will explore historical sites, engage with Greenlandic heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersu dogsled race, returning March 29. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz will join, visiting Pituffik Space Base, a source confirmed to CBS News. The trip follows Vance’s recent international engagements in Paris and India. President Trump has prioritized acquiring Greenland, citing national security in his March 4 address to Congress, stating, “We’re going to get it.” Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede criticized the visit on March 24 as U.S. interference, per AFP, amid coalition talks following his party’s March 11 election loss. Waltz emphasized Arctic strategic concerns in January, noting Russia’s dominance with over 60 icebreakers.
