Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Tuesday said the United States is putting unacceptable pressure on Greenland ahead of a trip to the semi-autonomous Danish territory this week by a high-profile US delegation.

DAILY POST reports a high-profile US delegation will visit Greenland this week as President Donald Trump promotes the idea of a US annexation of the strategic, semi-autonomous Danish territory.

The US visit, which runs from Thursday to Saturday, will be led by Usha Vance, wife of Vice President JD Vance, and include White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

“I have to say that it is unacceptable pressure being placed on Greenland and Denmark in this situation. And it is pressure that we will resist,” Frederiksen said.

It was gathered that the delegation had not been invited by the governments of Greenland or Denmark.

Brian Hughes, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said the delegation aimed to learn about Greenland, its culture, history, and people.

“You cannot make a private visit with official representatives from another country,” Frederiksen added.
