A group led by Vance's wife, Usha, plans to visit a US military base and a sled dog race. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright will also attend.

Denmark's PM Mette Frederiksen calls it 'unacceptable pressure,' while departing Greenlandic premier Múte Egede sees it as a 'provocation.'

Vance states concerns about threats to the US, Canada, and Greenland, emphasizing the need for attention to Arctic security. He will visit the US Space Force base in Greenland to discuss 'Arctic security issues.'
