23. Vance's team 'pleading with Greenland residents' to meet VP and wife

US representatives canvassed door-to-door in Greenland as part of a “charm offensive” to sound out whether residents would welcome a visit from Usha Vance, it has been claimed.

The second lady and one of her sons had been set to visit the Danish territory this week after Donald Trump continued to inflame tensions by announcing it should come under US control.

Ahead of her visit, staffers reportedly spent a week traipsing around Nuuk, the capital city, to gauge the feeling among residents.

“The Americans’ charm offensive mission has failed,” Jesper Steinmetz, a reporter for TV 2, said.
