There’s no pleasing some people. For example: Greenland’s Prime Minister, Mute Egede, has been anything but mute (see what I did there?) about Second Lady Usha Vance’s upcoming visit to Greenland.
The thing is, some of his rhetoric on the topic is a little unhinged.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede described second lady Usha Vance’s upcoming visit to his country as a dangerous and “very aggressive” provocation during a recent interview with a national news outlet in Greenland.
The visit by the second lady, one of her sons and an accompanying U.S. delegation was announced by the White House on Thursday. Per the announcement, Vance will spend the trip visiting historical sites, learning about the country’s heritage, and attending Greenland’s national dogsled race. Trump’s national security advisor, Michael Waltz, will also visit the arctic country this week as part of the delegation traveling with the second lady, according to sources familiar with the trip.
While the National Security Advisor is, at least, an actual administration official, Usha Vance is not. She’s married to one, but she’s not. This is the kind of public-relations trip that the first and second ladies have always made, and always will, and nothing more. As for it being a provocation, we note that if Greenland really does consider a visit from Usha Vance to be “very aggressive,” then it would appear that a troop of Cub Scouts armed with Swiss Army knives would be able to conquer the island in about three days.
This is a goodwill visit and nothing more. But PM Egede doesn’t see it that way…
