D. Vance, his wife and the rest of the American delegation have decided to drop plans in Nuuk and Sisimiut, and instead choose to travel to Pituffik Space Base on Friday. This is confirmed by the director and editor-in-chief of Sermitsiaq, Masaana Egede: - I think it is good for the USA, if they want future cooperation, that they choose to go to Pituffik Space Base, because after all we know what it is and understand the function of the base. And that they choose not to go to Nuuk during a coalition negotiation, and choose not to go to Sisimiut for such a proud race, I think, is a relief for a lot of people, says Masaana Egede. Although changes to the travel plans may seem more harmless and less invasive, one should still keep in mind that the USA's interest in Greenland has not diminished: - Despite the fact that it seems positive, we must be very clear that this is still a very clear signal to Denmark, Greenland and NATO that they still want Greenland, says Masaana Egede.
In connection with the recent announcement that US Vice President J. D. Vance is coming to Greenland, Sermitsiaq learns that the Americans are canceling all activities surrounding the visit to Nuuk and Sisimut. They will also no longer attend Avannaata Qimussersua. A press release from the White House states that J.D. Vance and his wife will visit Pituffik Space Base on Friday. Apparently, attending the dog sled race and visiting Nuuk and Sisimiut have been completely taken off the table. It has been heavily debated and criticized that the American delegation, including senior members of the administration, should travel around as tourists, without an official invitation from the Self-Government and at a time when a new Naalakkersuisut has not yet been formed after the elections. In addition to protests against the visit of the acting chairman of Naalakkersuisut, Múte B. Egede (IA), demonstrations have also been planned against the American delegation. President Donald Trump stated on Monday that the United States had been invited and denied that it was a provocation. However, shortly afterwards, Naalakkersuisut issued a message in English on Facebook, emphasizing that it had not invited anyone, but on the contrary has asked other countries to respect the fact that a government has not yet been formed after the elections.
