Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede has accused the United States of meddling in its political affairs following the announcement of a visit by an American delegation, which includes National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, this week. Egede emphasized that Greenland's integrity and democracy must be respected, asserting that the delegation's visit from Thursday to Saturday cannot be dismissed as merely private. The visit comes amid ongoing tensions regarding U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland, a desire he has expressed since returning to power in January. Egede noted that discussions with Washington would only occur after Greenland's general elections on March 11, which left him in a caretaker role. Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of the centre-right Democrats likely to become the next prime minister, has previously condemned Trump's actions as "inappropriate." While many Greenlanders support independence from Denmark, they oppose any annexation by the U.S.
