U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his aspirations to annex Greenland during a Cabinet meeting on Monday. Despite overtures, Greenlandic leaders expressed displeasure over a visit by a U.S. delegation, led by Usha Vance, wife of Vice President JD Vance, slated for later this week.

Trump highlighted that his administration was in talks with parties in Greenland, remarking, "I think Greenland is going to be something that maybe is in our future." The Danish semi-autonomous territory has been a focal point of the President's unconventional diplomatic strategies.

The proposed annexation has sparked a significant diplomatic tension, with Greenlandic authorities viewing such moves with skepticism. As the U.S. delegation arrives under heightened scrutiny, the visit is expected to address critical issues surrounding sovereignty and international relations.
