Although President Donald Trump has made no secret of his wish to acquire Greenland, that prospect was recently denounced by the island's government as "unacceptable."

However, that apparently won't stop Second Lady Usha Vance from traveling to Greenland later this week. 

Mrs. Vance will attend national dogsled race

According to Breitbart, details of the trip were announced via social media on Sunday, with Mrs. Vance and her son being expected to depart with her son on March 27.

Her delegation will "visit historical sites, learn about Greenlandic heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersu, Greenland’s national dogsled race."

"The race brings together approximately 37 mushers and 444 dogs in a remarkable display of speed, skill, and teamwork," a press release explained.

The statement concluded by stating, "Ms. Vance and the delegation are excited to witness this monumental race and celebrate Greenlandic culture and unity. They will return to the United States on Saturday, March 29, 2025."

Donald Trump Jr. previously visited Greenland in January

Meanwhile, the New York Times reported that National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright will also be part of the delegation and plan to tour a military base.

It added that the visit comes even "as the Trump administration increases its focus on Arctic security and the Western Hemisphere."

The second lady's trip to Greenland comes nearly four months after President Trump's eldest son also visited the Arctic island.

"Incredible people with an equally awesome reception," Donald Trump Jr. wrote in a social media post. "They just want to be able to utilize some of the incredible resources that they have and allow themselves, their country, and their kids to flourish."

Prime minister calls trip "a demonstration of power"

Fox News reported that for his part, Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede voiced opposition to Mrs. Vance's decision to visit his country.

"We are now at a level where it can in no way be characterized as a harmless visit from a politician's wife, which is a prospect," Egede was quoted as saying.

"The only purpose is to show a demonstration of power to us, and the signal is not to be misunderstood," he went on to add.
