White House Announces Scaled-Down Trip to Greenland Even as Trump Insists "We Need Greenland"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Members of Trump's circle have scaled down a planned trip to Greenland
on Friday, restricting their visit to a U.S. military base, after major
backlash from Greenland and Denmark. Vice President JD Vance announced
on Tuesday he would join his wife Usha Vance on the trip. It is unclear
if national security adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris
Wright are still going. On Wednesday, Trump reiterated his desire to
take control over Greenland while speaking to the press.

President Donald Trump: "We need Greenland for national security and
international security. So, we'll - I think we'll go as far as we have
to go. We need Greenland, and the world needs us to have Greenland,
including Denmark. Denmark has to have us have Greenland."
