Angry Groenlanders have pointed out that Donald Trump's right -hand man does not seem to know what his other right -hand man is doing.
Because while the American vice -president JD Vance claimed on Friday that America wants to help Greenland, it originated that last month his colleague Trump top assistant Elon Musk had abruptly deleted to have deleted vital American financing for business training here.
Vice -President JD Vance, and his wife Usha, flew here on Friday to an American basis, amid a storm of controversy, to re -confirm the amazing wish of President Trump to take control of the island from Denmark.
If he is not fully excluding the exclusion of previous stunning suggestions that America could use military violence to grasp Greenland – only saying that Trump “does not think it will be necessary” – he insisted that the US would be good for the islanders, while “Denmark in Greenland has invested enough.”
Yet Groenlanders – who have already gone thousands in their American takeover – gave it that she has already reduced the government Trump from increasing investments in Greenland.
The Greenland Business School, in the small capital Nuuk, a share of £ 80,000 was promised from a total US AID package of £ 350,000, agreed in 2021, to finance training in entrepreneurship for young students.
Manager for Business School projects Nukappiaraq Kristianssen said that there had been widespread interest, in which teachers hired and students registered to study, whereby the Organization organized by the USAID organized by the statement organized by the State.
But then Donald Trump performed in January – his closest assistant Musk, owner of Tesla and X (formerly known as Twitter) – was named head of the new Department of Government Efficiency.

And one of his first acts was to virtually close USAID, with Trump and Musk denounced it to waste money and do nothing for America.
As a result, the promised financing for Greenland was suddenly canceled.
Mr Kristianssen of Greenland Business School said he had been destroyed by the shock and added: 'This means the projects we should have started to come to nothing. And it influences a lot, both the teachers and the students. '
Local documentary maker Dida Heilmann, 50, who recently had traditional Inuit face and breast tattoos in the midst of a revival in interest in the indigenous culture of Greenland, was contemptuous about the actions of America.
Miss Heilmann said: 'Donald Trump and the others just use dirty tricks while trying to take over Greenland.
“And they would have been worse than the Danes.
'They don't respect us, they just think of money and want our minerals.
“They don't think about our values, or we as people.”
The National Museum of Greenland in Nuuk is also part of the continuous Vechtback against the US – with staff there already indignant about a visit in January of the son of President Donald Trump JNR.

They complained that he only spent a few minutes, only interested in the horrible mummies of Inuit women and a baby from the 15th century.
This week they got back, it appeared, when the Usha Vance staff asked if she could visit – and the staff said she would not be welcome. Plans for the Vans's to tour Greenland outside the American basis were demolished shortly thereafter.
Yesterday, Denmark complained that defense, foreign affairs and justice for always autonomous Greenland checks, that although Vance had said that the Danes offered poor safety, he had not referred to Danish troops that helped the staff he visited, Pituffik.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said yesterday about Vance's criticism: 'Many accusations and many accusations have been made. And of course we are open to criticism.
'But let me be completely honest: we do not appreciate the tone in which it is delivered. This is not how you speak with your close allies. '
