Greenland has seen a surge in security as Danish police reinforce personnel and sniffer dogs in preparation for Second Lady Usha Vance's arrival this week, according to Rene Gyldensten, Denmark's national police spokesperson.
Rene Gyldensten confirmed that these measures are customary for visits from dignitaries to Greenland, a territory known for its rich mineral resources and close ties with the United States. The exact number of additional officers remains undisclosed, but reports suggest a significant increase.
Amidst heightened political discourse over US interest in Greenland, Vance and her delegation plan to delve into cultural heritage and witness Greenland's national dogsled race, a testament to the region's traditions and unity.
