AND they don't plan to meet with the delegation - https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2025/03/24/us-visit-greenland-usha-vance-trump/82632106007/

(snip)

Egede, who is Greenland's outgoing prime minister, said his caretaker government would not meet with the delegation. He raised particular objection to Waltz’s visit. Denmark also voiced opposition to the trip.

"What is the national security adviser doing in Greenland? The only purpose is to demonstrate power over us," Egede said an interview with Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq on Sunday. "His mere presence in Greenland will no doubt fuel American belief in Trump’s mission − and the pressure will increase."

"Until recently, we could trust the Americans, who were our allies and friends, and with whom we enjoyed working closely," Egede told the local newspaper. "But that time is over."
