Trump will make intensive "private visits" to US military bases in Greenland

On March 24th, according to the Financial Times, several senior officials of the Trump administration will travel to Greenland next week. The Arctic island "coveted" by the US president is in talks about forming a new government and holding local elections. Waltz, assistant to the US president for national security affairs, Usha Vance, wife of Vice President Vance, and the US army and energy secretaries will travel to Greenland from Thursday to Saturday for a so-called "private visit", according to people familiar with the matter. Waltz and Energy Minister Wright will visit the US military facility "Pitufik Space Base" in Greenland, a source confirmed. Danish and Greenlandic officials said they were open to an increased US presence on the island but would not accept a US takeover.
