Greenland trip scaled back [View all]

... Vance and second lady Usha Vance will travel to the American Pittufik space base along with national security adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright ...

... The plan replaced earlier plans for a trip by the second lady to the capital, Nuuk, Greenlandic heritage sites and the territory's national dogsled race.

The original schedule had added to the confusion in Nuuk and Copenhagen about what the Trump administration wants with the self-governing territory. Apart from saying that Greenland is integral to U.S. national security and neglected by Denmark, and that he wants its minerals, the only explicit desire President Donald Trump has expressed about the island is that he wants the U.S. to own it.

The change of agenda ... keeps the Vances, Waltz and Wright far away from any major Greenlandic settlements ...

All's well that ends without JD and Usha being pelted with frozen dog poop
