U.S. Vice President JD Vance says he’s joining his wife on a Friday trip to Greenland, suggesting in an online video that global security is at stake

US Vice President JD Vance announced he will join his wife, Usha Vance, on a trip to Greenland, despite uproar. The White House canceled her planned public appearance at a dogsled race, redirecting the visit to the US-controlled Pituffik Space Base for a security briefing.

Greenland’s people are bracing for another visit from President Trump’s inner circle, with second lady Usha Vance set to travel to the autonomous Danish territory this week as her husband ratchets up talk about US security and “territorial” interests in the vast Arctic island coveted by the administration.
