The outgoing Prime Minister of Greenland, Mute Egede, condemned "foreign interference" today ahead of a visit by a US delegation to the autonomous Danish territory, which is coveted by Donald Trump.

"It should be emphasized that our integrity and our democracy must be respected without any external interference," Egede wrote on Facebook.

He added that there will be no "meeting" with the delegation, which includes, as he says, US National Security Advisor Mike Walz and US Vice President JD Vance's wife, Usha Vance.

The White House announced yesterday that Usha Vance will be on an official visit to Greenland from Thursday to Saturday to attend the national dog race.

"The Americans have been clearly informed that meetings can only take place after the new government takes office," following the recent parliamentary elections, Egede added.

Until a new government is formed following the defeat of the Left Party in the parliamentary elections, Egede is acting Prime Minister.

Jens-Frederik Nilsen, the center-right leader whose party won the election and is Egede's likely successor, recently called Donald Trump's comments on the annexation of Greenland "out of place."
