**Summary**

A Greenland tourism business withdrew its invitation for JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, citing concerns over the visit's "underlying agenda."

The decision follows widespread local opposition to U.S. influence amid Trump’s push to acquire Greenland, which 85% of Greenlanders oppose.

Usha and JD Vance will now visit the Pituffik Space Base instead. Danish leaders criticized U.S. pressure on Greenland, while Trump defended the visit as crucial for Arctic security.

Greenland’s outgoing prime minister condemned the visit as a show of American power.

He deserves to get shut out. He’s been a total cunt and insulted many people. Mini-Trump needs to get a reality check.

Trump’s push to acquire Greenland, which 85% of Greenlanders oppose.

The population of Greenland is so small that the remaining 15% might genuinely only be the people the administration bribed on the first visit. Or maybe they included the stray dogs of Nuuk in the polling 🤷

Notice they only seem to be doing shit with outgoing leadership. I’m guessing hoping to get the opposition to align with them.

Not realising that while their own propaganda war won at home it’s thankfully fell mostly flat abroad, and rallied Canada opposition against them and likely in Greenland too.
