Trump's manoeuvres spark anger in Greenland

The press office of the Second Lady of the United States, Usha Vance, announced she would be making an official visit to Greenland to visit the historical sites of the Danish island and attend the national sled dog race.

In Greenland, the visit's perceived as a misstep by the United States toward the island and has aroused the anger of the Greenland government, whose Prime Minister, Mute B. Egede, considers the arrival of the American delegation as "very aggressive".

Speaking to local newspaper Sermitsiaq, the Prime Minister stated that "the very aggressive pressure exerted by the United States on Greenlandic society is now so strong that the level can no longer increase. Staying united in Greenland has served nothing, raising our voices has served nothing and diplomatic attempts at dialogue have been in vain. The international community must now react."

"We must face the facts and recognize that every minute counts to prevent the American dream of annexing our country from becoming a reality," added Mr. Egede, the prime minister.
