The U.S. decision to modify a planned visit to Greenland, which had sparked a diplomatic standoff between Copenhagen and the White House over President Donald Trump’s interest in acquiring the island, has been welcomed by Denmark.
Denmark’s Foreign Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said this on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had stated on Wednesday that a planned visit by Usha Vance, the wife of U.S. Vice President JD Vance, to a popular dog-sled race in Greenland was part of unacceptable pressure on the semi-autonomous Danish territory.
DAILY POST reports that the White House on Tuesday announced that the delegation would instead be headed by JD Vance himself.
The White House, however, stated that the delegation would only visit the U.S. Space Base at Pituffik in northern Greenland and not the dog-sled race.
“I think it’s very positive that the Americans canceled their visit to the Greenlandic society. Instead, they will visit their own base, Pituffik, and we have nothing against that,” Rasmussen said.
