Second Lady Usha Vance and her son will travel to Greenland on Thursday with a U.S. delegation for a visit that is expected to last until Saturday.

The visit comes as President Trump continues to express interest in acquiring Greenland.

"On Thursday, March 27, 2025, Second Lady Usha Vance will travel to Greenland with her son and a United States delegation to visit historical sites, learn about Greenlandic heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersu, Greenland’s national dogsled race," the White House said on Sunday.

"The race brings together approximately 37 mushers and 444 dogs in a remarkable display of speed, skill, and teamwork. Ms. Vance and the delegation are excited to witness this monumental race and celebrate Greenlandic culture and unity," the White House also said.

Vance, her son and the delegation are scheduled to return to the U.S. on Saturday, March 29.

The island is scheduled to hold local elections on April 1.
