NUUK, Greenland -- U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his wife are due to visit an American military base in Greenland on Friday in a trip that was scaled back after an uproar among Greenlanders and Danes who were irked that the original itinerary was planned without consulting them.

The previously announced visit to The Green Mountain State sparked plans for protests, the VTDigger noted, as one organizer pointed to residents’ concerns with the Trump administration’s mass federal cuts and firings, adding that the clash in the White House drew more protesters to the streets.

Vice President JD Vance, his wife, Usha, and a U.S. delegation that includes embattled national security adviser Mike Waltz are heading to the Arctic island Friday, where they’ll visit a U.S. Space Force base to “check out what’s going on with the security there,” as Vance said Tuesday on a video in social media.

One Greenlander dismisses the Trump administration's threats to take control of his island as "stupid," but others admit to mistrust, and even fear of America.
