00:00U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has said he will join his wife, Usha, on a controversial
00:07trip to Greenland this week.
00:09And, you know, there was so much excitement around Usha's visit to Greenland this Friday
00:14that I decided that I didn't want her to have all that fun by herself, and so I'm going
00:18to join her.
00:19I'm going to visit some of our guardians in the Space Force on the northwest coast of
00:23Greenland and also just check out what's going on with the security there of Greenland.
00:27The U.S. delegation is scaling back its itinerary with a space-based visit after the unsolicited
00:33trip drew international criticism.
00:36Usha Vance initially planned to attend the National Dog Sled Race and see Greenland's
00:40historical sites.
00:42Greenland's prime minister called the visit highly aggressive, and his Danish counterpart
00:46echoed the sentiment a day later by saying the U.S. is putting unacceptable pressure
00:51on Greenland.
00:52U.S. President Donald Trump insisted that the visit is about friendliness, not provocation.
