Vice President JD Vance’s trip to an island that President Trump wants to “get” was a scaled-back version of the original White House plan. “He’s not welcome,” one Greenlander said.

The trip came as Trump also significantly escalated his rhetoric about his desire to control the sparsely populated, semiautonomous Danish territory.

Denmark’s foreign minister assailed the US for its “tone” after Vice President JD Vance visited Greenland, the remote and resource-rich Arctic island coveted by President Donald Trump.
