Future USHA VANCE visit to Greenland Sparks backlash
The Greenlandian Prime Minister said upcoming visits from Second Lady Ushavance and members of the Trump administration were “provocative.”
President Donald Trump is not only trying to win Greenland, but also trying to gain an artistic edge, but also wants a ship sailing through ice water.
Trump said he would negotiate with Finland to buy 15 icebreakers that could navigate the frozen seas.
“I want to buy an icebreaker. You’re very good at icebreakers,” Trump said in response to a question from a Finnish journalist on June 25th at a press conference in the Netherlands, preparing to leave the NATO summit.
The nation is rushing to gain an arts advantage as it will become more navigable due to climate change. Icebreakers will help the United States pursue its regional goals.
Trump is also trying to expand US territory north, and has repeatedly spoken about Greenland’s acquisition. Vice President J.D. V. V. V. V. V. and his wife Usha Vance recently traveled to a military base in Greenland.
Trump’s efforts to win Greenland met strong opposition from Denmark, which controls the territory. The president said he had discussed the issue with the Finnish president, suggesting that his efforts to buy an icebreaker could also be controversial.
“I actually made an offer to him. I didn’t go to Congress. They’re going to try and fire each for this,” Trump said.
Democrats accused Trump of violating Congressional spending authorities.
