[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn’t Greenland just deny their visas? Deny them entry. That would send a strong message.[/quote]

Because the IS has a military base there (space force!)

I do not care about first and second family member travel. It’s always happened and it should be diplomatic.  I do care about her going at all in this specific case, and certainly while dragging a kid, to a country that is telling he not to come because it’s “highly aggressive”. That is not diplomacy. She shouldn’t go. And since there will be strong Anti-American protests in Greenland, she shouldn’t take the kid. That’s just decent parenting.

Was she ordered to go or is she fine with this?  Who makes these kinds of decisions about where political  spouses travel and what they do?  Could she refuse this trip?[/quote]

She’s a grown a## adult and not a political prisoner. No one can force her to go to Greenland. Now, there might be consequences for saying no.  [b]Okay, in Trumpland, there will be consequences.[/b] And it may be that she decided it was better to go than face them. But you don’t take the kid. Even if there are consequences. If she thinks this is going to be a warm reception and a fun day at the dog races, she’s a fool. And YLS grads who fast tracked not major firms are not fools. [/quote]
I don't even think that's the case! Her husband is the second most powerful man in America, and Usha can't say "Oh, I'm sorry...I don't want to take my oldest out of school for that long and I don't even particularly want to go alone because it's the end of the school year and my other kids have a lot going on"?
