43. Denmark should have refused to cooperate for security, but they've sent personnel and let armoured cars in
Tue Mar 25, 2025, 03:44 AM
Tuesday
Mike Waltz and Usha Vance are scheduled to arrive in Greenland this week as part of a delegation that will also include the US energy secretary, Chris Wright. A spokesperson for the Danish police confirmed on Monday that they had sent extra personnel and sniffer dogs to Greenland as they step up security measures before the visit.

Local media also reported the arrival of four bulletproof cars in Nuuk city centre, delivered by plane from the US.
...
René Gyldensten, the Danish police spokesperson, said the extra officers, deployed on Sunday, were part of regular steps taken during visits by dignitaries but declined to specify the number of extra police flown in on a chartered aircraft. News reports put the figure at dozens.

They should have said "no, we've got jobs to do" (Mr. Vance accused Denmark and Greenland of "not doing their job" ). "She can come in like a normal tourist. Standard baggage allowance, make sure your visa is in order, because we wouldn't want to have to turn you back."
