Vance takes one of her sons on her second official solo journey, a three-day trip to Greenland.
“Usha Vance will travel to Greenland with his son and his United States delegation, visit his historic sites, learn about Greenland's heritage and attend Avannata Qimussus, the Greenland national dog breed,” the White House said of Vice President J.D. Vance's wife.
“Mr. Vance and the delegation are thrilled to witness this monumental race and celebrate Greenland's culture and unity.”
The solo trip without her husband follows a solo trip to Italy earlier this month.
Additionally, national security adviser Mike Waltz and energy secretary Chris Wright will be making separate visits to the territory this week.
Waltz and Wright are expected to tour the Greenland military bases during their visit.
The announcement comes after his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., flew to Greenland and toured the country as the Trump administration tried to acquire it.
However, the latest moves have been filled with criticism from Greenland leaders, saying that the visit to the island was “very aggressive.”
“The very aggressive American pressure on the Greenlandic Association is now so severe that we cannot raise the level,” Greenland Prime Minister Mute B. Egede said in an interview with. Sermitsiaq Sunday newspaper.
“Until recently we were allies and friends and we were able to trust Americans who we enjoyed our work closely, but that's over.”
Egede, the leader of the country's left, is known for sharing his desire for his territory to declare independence from Denmark.
Greenland is currently owned by the Kingdom of Denmark, but the Prime Minister has insisted it is not for sale. Greenland's PM also reflects that sentiment.
“We are not on sale and we cannot simply be taken away,” Egede said of Trump's pursuit.
Greenland held an election earlier this month, with the Democratit Party, which supports a slow drift towards independence, won. The leaders are known for having old Trump calls to take over the island.
“We need Greenland for national and international security,” Trump said in a speech at a joint session of Congress this month. “I think we'll get it. In some way, we're trying to get it.”
