US Vice President JD Vance's planned visit to Greenland reignites controversy over President Trump's desire to bring the territory under American control. Alterations to the trip, which bypassed local authorities, sparked protests although interactions with the public have been minimized.

Vance, accompanied by key officials, plans to visit the strategic US military base at Pituffik. The base is pivotal for missile warnings, underscoring Greenland's strategic importance. Despite Trump's aspirations, local opposition is fierce, rejecting any perceived attempt at annexation.

With geopolitical tensions rising, Russia emerges as a perceived winner, capitalizing on transatlantic discord. Meanwhile, Greenlanders emphasize the importance of national identity, with memorable demonstrations and unity in stand against external pressures on their sovereignty.
