U.S. Second Lady Usha Vance To Visit Greenland| Trump's acquisition talks| U.S. Takeover| N18G

U.S. Second Lady Usha Vance is set to visit Greenland this week, marking the highest-profile visit to the territory since the Trump administration expressed interest in acquiring it. During her three-day trip, Vance will be accompanied by one of her children and will explore Greenland's historical sites, learn about its heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersu, the national dogsled race. The race, featuring 37 mushers and 444 dogs, celebrates Greenlandic culture and athleticism. Mike Waltz, Trump’s national security adviser, will join Vance during the visit. Despite the opposition of Greenland's parliamentary parties, Trump has consistently claimed that U.S. control over Greenland is inevitable, citing national security concerns rather than territorial expansion. The U.S. maintains a military presence in Greenland, which was visited by Donald Trump Jr. earlier this year. Trump has also made other controversial territorial suggestions, including claims about Panama's canal and Canadian statehood.
