White House national security adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright will visit Greenland in the coming days as the territory wrestles with how to counter the Trump administration’s threats of annexation.

Waltz and Wright will take part in cultural events and also visit Pituffik Space Base, formerly known as Thule Air Base, in northwestern Greenland, according to the White House.
