Second lady Usha Vance and one of her sons were supposed to attend Greenland’s big dogsled race this weekend in what some called a “charm offensive” to further President Donald Trump’s ambition to pry the territory from Denmark.
But charm turned to smarm when the White House announced that she would instead be joining her husband in visiting an American military facility there on Friday.
“The Vice President and Second Lady are embarking on a historic expedition with their visit to Greenland, where the Vice President will emphasize the importance of bolstering [Arctic] security in places like Pituffik Space Base,” a senior White House official told the New York Post.
