Second woman Usha Vance was initially scheduled to go to Greenland on a solo journey from Thursday by way of Saturday to “go to historic websites, find out about Greenlandic heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersua, Greenland’s nationwide dogsled race,” the White Home mentioned.
As a substitute, the journey has been scaled again. The vp and second woman are scheduled to go to Pituffik Area Base in Greenland, the US army’s northernmost set up, on Friday.
Usha Vance’s solo journey may have violated diplomatic protocol by sending a delegation to a different nation with out an invite.

“Only for the document, Naalakkersuisut, the federal government of Greenland, has not prolonged any invites for any visits, neither personal nor official,” the federal government’s official Fb web page wrote in a put up on Monday.
Greenland Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede additionally known as Usha Vance’s deliberate journey “very aggressive” in an interview with Sermitsiaq, a Greenlandic newspaper.
