US President Donald Trump seemingly forgot the name of Vice-President JD Vance’s wife Usha Vance as he talked about her trip to Greenland. Talking about the upcoming visit, Donald Trump said that the pair were “invited” to the country- a claim refuted by Greenland.
When Donald Trump talked about Usha Vance, he proceeded without her name and referred to her simply as JD Vance’s wife. He said, “I thought it would be a great… I have great respect for, er, the wife of our first… of our great vice-president. I think she’s doing a… she’s a brilliant woman. She’s, er, a very nice woman and she loves the concept of Greenland.”
The trip comes as Donald Trump has repeatedly said that he wants the US to take ownership of Greenland – an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark.
Donald Trump said, “So they’re going there and that’s purely friendship … People from Greenland are asking us to go. We have many, many requests from many, many people – some officials, too.”
Greenland’s PM Múte B. Egede said, “We are now at a level where it can in no way be characterised as a harmless visit from a politician’s wife. The only purpose is to demonstrate power over us.”
