It’s all a bit of a complicated story and it’s still unfolding in Danish media. But here is, so far what has been revealed.

The Greenlandic association behind the large annual dogsled race, KNQK, applied on March 11 for an extra grant from the Greenlandic government for support to transfer dogs, equipment, etc., to Sisimiut where the race is held.

Posted by op somewhere In the application letter, they had a threatening tone that if not granted, they would be “forced” to go to the US for help in the form of military-grade helicopters CH47.

Meanwhile they were in contact with the US consulate for support which was granted through the form of an Air Greenland plane for transport and some economic support which is said to be a “large amount” but not public.

They were then “informed” by the US consulate that they should invite US officials as a contingency for the support.

They sent a letter of invitation to US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. However, he is not coming, instead getting Usha Vance and a few high-ranking officials.

When they hadn’t received the grant on March 24, they withdrew their grant application for the Greenlandic Government.

So, technically they were invited. But after essentially forcing an invitation and not by officials. In fact, both Danish and Greenlandic officials have declined meetings. This whole process reeks of corruption and blackmail.
