Greenland’s prime minister says move is ‘demonstration of power’ and accuses US of interfering in its political affairs

Summary

Greenland’s prime minister, Múte B Egede, condemned the planned visit by Usha Vance, Mike Waltz, and US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, calling it “foreign interference” and urging international support against American pressure.

The visit, seen as a charm offensive amid ongoing coalition talks, sparked local outrage, with Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of Greenland’s Democrats, criticizing the US for disrespecting Greenland’s sovereignty.

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emphasized cooperation with the US based on respect for sovereignty.

Extra Danish police have been deployed to Greenland ahead of the visit.

    Also I know some folks who avoid politics like the fucking plague, not for any “enlightened” above politics sorta way. No they avoid politics because their usually mom was a fucking psycho and would shove politics into EVERYTHING. Air conditioner broke? Must’ve been the liberals. Grocery store stopped stocking miracle whip? Must’ve been Obama. Cheese grater handle snapped? It’s the immigrants.

    Frankly speaking I suspect this is a larger cohort of folks than many realize. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if up to 10 percent of the population avoided politics because of trauma.
