Greenland leaders criticise our delegation's trip as Trump talks about the takeover
Greenland leaders criticized future trips by famous American delegations to semi-autonomous Danish territory Donald Trump has suggested that the US should annex, Reuters reports.
The delegation visiting American military bases and seeing the dog-covered race is led by Usha Vance, wife of Vice President J.D. Vance, and includes White House national security adviser Mike Waltz and energy secretary Chris Wright.
Greenland's resignation Prime Minister Mute Egede called this week's visit a “provocation” and said his caretaker government would not meet with the delegation.
“Until recently we were allies and friends and we were able to trust Americans who we enjoyed our work closely,” Egede told local newspaper Sermitsiaq. “But then it's over.”
The Narakkarzoot of the Greenlandic government is now in the age of caretakers after the general election on March 11, when Democrats, a professional business party that supports a slow approach to independence from Denmark, won.
Democratic leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen said that US delegations visited during coalition talks next week and during local government elections.
Waltz and Wright are scheduled to visit Pitafik Space Station, a US military base in Greenland. The White House said it would get briefings from US service members there. They then join Vance to visit historic sites and attend dog types across the country.
Brian Hughes, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said the US team “confidently offers the opportunity to respect Greenland's self-determination and develop partnerships that promote economic cooperation.”
“This is a visit to learn about Greenland, its culture, history, people and participate in the dog-raised race.
Since taking office for the second time on January 20th, Trump has made a big stir on Greenland's annexation. Greenland's strategic location and abundant mineral resources could benefit the United States. It is located along the shortest route from Europe to North America and is essential for the US ballistic missile warning system.

Under the proposed data-sharing agreement, said to have been in negotiations for weeks, Immigration And Customs Enforcement (Ice) could hand over the names and addresses of undocumented immigrants to the IRS, raising concerns about abuse of power from the Trump administration and the erosion of privacy rights.

Under the agreement, the IRS would cross-reference names of undocumented immigrants with their confidential taxpayer databases, a move that would breach the longstanding trust in the confidentiality of tax information. Such data has historically been considered sensitive and thereby closely guarded, so the reported deal has raised alarm bells at the IRS, according to the Washington Post.

The IRS deals with ice close to ICE to share undocumented immigrant data – Report
Olivia Encosson
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is reportedly approaching a transaction to enable immigrant officials to use tax data to support Donald Trump's deportation agenda. Washington Post.
Under the proposed data sharing agreement, it is said to be in negotiations for weeks, so immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) can hand over undocumented names and addresses of immigrants to the IRS, which could raise concerns about power abuse from the Trump administration and erosion of privacy rights.
If access to this sensitive database is agreed, it marks a major change and will likely be the first time immigrant officials have relied on tax systems for enforcement assistance in such a drastic way.
Under the contract, the IRS uses a confidential taxpayer database, a move that violates long-standing trust in the confidentiality of tax information, to cross-reference undocumented immigrant cross-references.
