If true, Trump is getting way out of line.
The officials said the call went badly, and that Trump was aggressive and confrontational when told the island was not for sale.
“It was horrendous,” said one of the officials.
“He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious, and potentially very dangerous,” said another.
Though Frederiksen reportedly told Trump he couldn’t annex Greenland, she did say she was up for cooperating on establishing more military bases and critical mineral mining.

The suburb to the immediate east of mine has the same population as Greenland. THere's a lot of nothing there. But, location, location, location.

Oh no, there is a lot there. Oil, lithium, nickel, copper… What isn’t there is fauna such as speckled salamanders that would throw animal protection groups into a tizzy…

Lawmakers in Greenland on Tuesday, Feb. 4, seemed to be safeguarding against U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to acquire the island territory, officially owned by Denmark. Greenland’s parliament passed a measure that bans political donations from foreign or anonymous contributors.

A party that favors a gradual path to Greenland’s independence from Denmark won a surprise victory in parliamentary elections, held in the shadow of U.S. President Donald Trump’s stated goal of taking control of the island.
The center-right Demokraatit Party has pushed back against Trump’s rhetoric, saying it is for Greenlanders to decide the future of the strategically important territory, which holds large reserves of the rare earth minerals needed to make everything from mobile phones to renewable energy technology. The Arctic island is also home to a U.S. air base and straddles strategic air and sea routes in the North Atlantic.

Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of the center-right Demokraatit party that won this week's parliamentary election, was joined by outgoing Prime Minister Mute B. Egede to lead protesters toward the US consulate on Nuuk's outskirts.
"We want to be ourselves, and our autonomy and freedom will never be put up for debate," Nielsen told the Danish Broadcasting Corporation during the rally.
"There is not the slightest chance that I will talk to Trump about Greenland becoming part of the US. Greenland will be Greenland," he said.

This week, a group of US officials and Vice President JD Vance's wife, Usha, plan to go to Greenland to watch the country's national dogsled race. Greenland's prime minister is calling the visit "highly aggressive."
and
Challenge to citizens: Vance's wife's visit is a charm offense. If you take a smiling selfie with them, you send a signal to the whole world that you love USA and want to be a part of it. We have already shown our attitude through a large demonstration. Let's stand firm and hold together."

(But it does happen. Usually when a high level Taiwan official is traveling to the Central America, they make a "refueling" stop in the US. I dont believe that they are "officially" invited.)
He said it is "highly unusual" that a high-level delegation of US officials are visiting Greenland without being invited

Like I said it’s a boondoggle; a boondoggle with a suspiciously imperial fragrance to it.
A boondoggle that also deflects from the scandal brewing back in Washington. -

Do you think it's possible that Vance will ask for political asylum during the visit?

The Greenlanders should make sure they send Hegseth extra bottles of Whiskey… up their chances of getting a drunk text from him with invasion plans.
