Greenland visit cancelled after locals refuse to welcome Usha Vance

This is the first time I'm learning about the USA's second lady and I did NOT expect her to be what Trump would refer to as a DEI hire

Good job, Greenland! Proud of you. Every country should do this.

It feels good to see fascists being treated appropriately.

"I want your land. Now welcome me like a hero"

nobody want to welcome you

Who would've have thought.

He actually visited Greenland. I just saw it in the news. He just avoided the capital and only visited an army base.

I like to think they didn't want to meet the Vances because they were afraid for the safety of their couches.

Sorry, I think this was a mistake.

I think it would have been better for one household to welcome them warmly, say they were proud to have them in their home.

And when they showed up, sat down, had tea, had 100 greenlanders in with literal torches and pitchforks come in screaming obscenities of every kind and demanding they leave while streaming the whole thing.

Bonus points if their as detail draw their weapons, which are banned in greenland, so they end up in jail as a diplomatic incident.

I will repeat it: Greenlanders are very based.

If you are ever in Denmark, spend an hour to visit the Greenland museum, a huge raised middle finger of an exposition reminding everyone of Danish colonialism, placed right in the middle of Copenhagen.

They are not well treated by the Danes either, who only recently recognized them the right for translators in the Danish parliament.

Keep it up, Greenlanders. Fuck these pricks!

what the fuck did they expect? a welcoming party to rival none other? With drumpf constantly going on about how he's gonna take greenland? JFC. Fucking morons.

Excellent, Now do every state in the US.

I'm willing to bet they don't understand why because the know "Everybody adores us"

When you're so cringe you don't even know.

clearly they are racists because she's black.

/s

(I know she's not, but when would anything republicans say make sense?)

You don’t invite foreign invaders, you shoot them between the eyes. See Ukraine.

Glad they got the hint.

Moment "American representatives were seen in the city", were they outside the base? That would have been the moment to do to the Americans what they do to the tourists and have them arrested directly... Legally that shouldn't be a problem, after all it's a matter of national security, and there have already been more than enough hostile statements and indirect announcements of war.

Edit: replaced deeples non sense

It's nice to see some good news from time to time in these troubling times.

They really were hoping to find the one place that was willing to ostracize themselves for the headlines and the clicks. Thank you Greenland for fighting the good fight.

I’d meet her, so as I could ask her how she can stand by these awful policies …but I’m not a woman. Or from Greenland.

Imagine an ice center in Greenland detaining the vp and his wife citing a decades old law. 👁️👄👁️

Why were they issued visas?

Ami go home

This how we feel in California.

find any locals who wanted to greet the Second Lady

Did they lead with that? As in, asking as if she was greenlanders "second lady" and not only americans (the term didn't exist before this distraction, afaik)?

I hope it really is cancelled

Are they getting DOGE to look into whether the tickets were non-refundable?

When we grow enough as a nation to unilaterally fail welcome her back after her tour to find a house on soon to be annexed land I think my feeling of dread will ease.

“Cultural visit” you mean junket? Honestly, I would love to go check out Pituffik, but I suspect she and I don’t have the same appreciation for the outdoors.

Times like this I am sad I am in California where these chumps don't show their faces very often. My fellow statesmen are renowned for their political shithousing and they deserve to have their voices heard!

It's spelled usher, dumb fucks....

The Second Lady had planned to visit the Danish territory this week alongside other senior US government figures in a visit that had been described as a “provocation” by Greenland’s acting head of government Mute Egede.

It was later announced that JD Vance would be joining his wife on the visit, which was set to come after months of the Trump administration voicing their desire to take over the territory.

Usha Vance had been set to spend several days in Greenland on a “cultural visit.”

However, changes were subsequently made to the trip, which the White House confirmed on Tuesday would only involve the Vances visiting the US Pituffik Space Base, on the north-western coast.

Now, Danish broadcaster TV2 has reported that part of Mrs Vance’s visit to the capital of Nuuk was cancelled after US representatives failed to find any locals who wanted to greet the Second Lady.

Seriously though, why would anyone think this was a good idea in the first place? First off, I didn’t even know the “Second Lady” really did anything like this kind of stuff at all, and secondly, why would locals care about someone who is essential a random foreigner coming to pave the way for chaos?

She’s not Princess Diana. Five years ago, her husband was a certified nobody and now they want to drum up flowers and cheers from locals in another country for the wife of someone who is a half-step from being just some random NPC?

bummer. i was kinda hoping to see them actually denied entry.
