A delegation, including the wife of the US Vice President, is planning to go to Greenland.
Denmark is concerned and many Greenlanders are upset:
Danish police fly extra forces to Greenland ahead of second lady Usha Vance’s visit
March 24, 2025
Danish police sent extra personnel and sniffer dogs to Greenland as the icy island steps up security measures ahead of a planned visit this week by second lady Usha Vance, the chief spokesman for Denmark’s national police said.
René Gyldensten said Monday the extra officers, deployed the day before, were part of regular steps taken during visits by dignitaries to Greenland, a self-governing, mineral-rich territory of American ally Denmark. …
Vance will leave on Thursday and return Saturday, a statement from her office said. She and one of her three children will be part of a U.S. delegation that will “visit historic sites” and “learn about Greenlandic heritage.”
On her visit, Vance will attend the Avannaata Qimussersu, Greenland’s national dogsled race, featuring about 37 mushers and 444 dogs. The statement said Vance and the U.S. delegation “are excited to witness this monumental race and celebrate Greenlandic culture and unity.” …
Media outlets in Greenland and Denmark reported that Vance would be accompanied by Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz. The White House and the National Security Council did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Trump had mused during his first term about buying the world’s largest island, even as Denmark, a NATO ally, insisted it wasn’t for sale. The people of Greenland have also firmly rejected Trump’s plans.
Since returning to the White House, Trump has repeatedly said that the U.S. will come to control Greenland while insisting he supports the idea for strategic national security reasons https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/danish-police-fly-extra-forces-greenland-ahead-lady-120088701
Greenland PM denounces Usha Vance’s visit as Trump eyes control of Danish territory
March 24, 2025
Second lady Usha Vance will visit Greenland this week as the Trump administration continues to suggest the United States should take over the Danish territory. …
Media outlets in Greenland and Denmark reported that Vance would be accompanied by Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz.
Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede denounced the trip on Monday, according to the French news agency AFP.
It should be said clearly that our integrity and democracy must be respected without foreign interference,” AFP wrote, adding that it “cannot be seen as just a private visit.
Vice President JD Vance said during an interview on Fox News Sunday that Trump “doesn’t care” what the Europeans think. …
In January, Anders Vistisen, a Danish member of the European Parliament, responded to Trump, telling him Greenland is not for sale.
“Dear President Trump, listen very carefully,” he said. “Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It’s an integrated part of our country.” https://wjla.com/news/nation-world/greenland-pm-prime-minister-mute-egede-denounces-second-lady-usha-vances-visit-as-presidet-donald-trump-eyes-control-of-danish-territory-national-security-adviser-mike-waltz
Greenland’s prime minister slams ‘highly aggressive’ visit by US officials, including second lady Usha Vance
March 25, 2025
Greenland’s prime minister said a planned visit to the island by US officials, including second lady Usha Vance, is “highly aggressive,” plunging relations to a new low after President Donald Trump vowed to annex the autonomous Danish territory.
Vance, the wife of US Vice President JD Vance, will travel to Greenland this week to watch the island’s national dogsled race and “celebrate Greenlandic culture and unity,” according to a statement from the White House. National security adviser Mike Waltz is also expected to visit the territory this week, according to a source familiar with the trip.
Greenland Prime Minister Mute B. Egede called the US delegation’s trip to the island “highly aggressive” in an interview with Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq on Sunday, and raised particular objection to Waltz’s visit.
“What is the national security adviser doing in Greenland? The only purpose is to demonstrate power over us,” Egede said. “His mere presence in Greenland will no doubt fuel American belief in Trump’s mission — and the pressure will increase.”
Trump’s idea to annex Greenland has thrown an international spotlight on the territory, which holds vast stores of rare earth minerals critical for high-tech industries, and has raised questions about the island’s future security as the US, Russia and China vie for influence in the Arctic. Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in the US taking the island by force or economic coercion, even as Denmark and Greenland have firmly rejected the idea. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/24/world/greenland-prime-minister-us-usha-vance-intl-hnk/index.html

Jens-Frederik Nielsen, the country’s likely next leader who is currently in talks to form a coalition government, also criticised the actions of the Trump administration.
“The fact that the Americans are well aware we are in the middle of negotiations once again shows a lack of respect for the Greenlandic people,” he said.
American relations with the US and Greenland have become strained this year, as US President Donald Trump has promised to gain control of the island “one way or another”, citing American national security as a justification.
“I think we will have it,” Trump said of Greenland shortly after the start of his second presidential term. …
Recent polling has shown that 85% of Greenlanders are against Trump’s plans. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/03/24/greenlands-prime-minister-condemns-us-officials-visit-as-demonstration-of-power
Yes, the visit this week can be considered as aggressive, particularly in light of some comments of the US Vice President:
24 March 2025
Vice President J.D Vance’s words attacking Denmark for not being a “good ally” have circulated online once again as his wife prepares to visit the world’s largest island this week.
Asked whether he believed the U.S. could acquire Greenland during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo in February, Vance said: “I think it’s possible, Maria.”
“Here’s the thing which I think a lot of folks don’t appreciate about Greenland.
“It’s really important to our national security,” the vice president claimed.
Vance explained that there are “sea lanes” surrounding Greenland, used by the Chinese and the Russians. The former Ohio senator accused the Danish government of restricting U.S. access and, therefore, “not doing its job” and “not being a good ally.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-denmark-greenland-bad-ally-b2720363.html
Last month, Germany said it was considering being part of the defense in Greenland:
Germany ready to deploy troops to Greenland – Spiegel
5 February 2025
The German government could pledge troops to a proposed NATO mission in Greenland, according to sources cited by Der Spiegel on Tuesday. The reported initiative by European members of the military bloc would aim to mitigate tensions created by President Donald Trump’s push for US sovereignty over the Danish island.
Trump has framed his bid for Greenland as a national security issue, …
EU leaders and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte discussed enhancing NATO’s presence in Greenland to try to alleviate the pressure from Trump, according to Der Spiegel, corroborating earlier media reports. Publicly, Rutte has emphasized the organization’s commitment to collectively addressing geopolitical challenges. …
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, chairperson of the German parliamentary defense committee, expressed support for deploying troops to Denmark, telling Spiegel that it would signal to the US that it cannot claim sole rights over Greenland. https://www.rt.com/news/612215-greenland-nato-mission-spiegel/
The Trump-Vance Administration is upsetting many nations. The fact is that there will be many unintended consequences of his statements, threats, and policies.
They are pushing away many allies and offending a lot of them. More and more are seeing him act as a bully.
Related to Greenland, here is something from my latest book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print :
Donald Trump’s foreign policy statements have unsettled many—in the USA as well as foreign nations. He is believed by many to be more unpredictable than Richard Nixon. Many have rightly pointed out that he often acts as a bully.
Greenland
There is also something referred to as the “law of unintended consequences.” There are consequences for the USA, Europe, and elsewhere that have and will occur because of Donald Trump’s statements and actions.
Consider, for one example, that after his reelection, Donald Trump stated that the United States needed to have Greenland for defense and economic purposes. Not only did that offend the governments of Denmark and Greenland, the Danish government then announced that it would greatly increase the amount of money it would spend on the defense of Greenland.[i]
On January 7, 2025, Donald Trump refused to rule out military or economic actions to acquire Greenland.[ii] The next day, European leaders warned they would not tolerate an attack on Greenland and that the continent of Europe was strong.[iii]
Donald Trump then stated he would implement high tariffs against Denmark to try to get it to sell Greenland to the USA.
However, that overlooks the fact that the European Union has its Anti-Coercion Instrument, which is designed to stop a foreign power from trying to punish one EU nation. Because of that, analysts report that punitive tariffs against Denmark “could lead to unintended consequences” from the EU against the USA.[iv]
One longer term consequence of Donald Trump’s rhetoric may be that the Europeans could decide that Greenland would be a useful place to conduct surveillance on the US and Canada.
Additionally, it is also possible that Greenland could be used as a base to 1) interfere with US military satellite communications, 2) possibly neutralize some US military moves in Greenland, or even 3) a place to also launch an attack against the US, Canada, and/or even the UK. The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2)—some statements by Donald Trump are pushing “friends” (NATO allies) into being enemies. …
The USA will be attacked by “friends” consistent with the following:
1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!The princess among the provinces Has become a slave!
2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).Notice the one who was “great among the nations” will be conquered by friends, who will become enemies.
The USA was prophesied to be “great” in Genesis 48:19 and is considered by international sources to be great among the nations of the world today.[v]

Others have noted that Donald Trump is treating nations who are considered to be “friends” as enemies (e.g. see RT: Zelensky says US doesn’t care about EU; BBC: Frenemies?).
Yes, the Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2)–that will include people like the Germans (cf. Isaiah 10:5-11).
And yes, a more militarized Greenland could play a role in the conquering of the USA–which is prophesied to happen (cf. Daniel 11:39).
World events are aligning with properly understood biblical prophecies.
