“I don’t think I know about current politics, but what I know is that the concerns of the U.S. government discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday do not reflect the Pituffak space base.”
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell shared the Military Conditions on X on Thursday night, writing: “Operations that undermine the chain of command or subvert President Trump’s agenda will be intolerable by the Department of Defense.”
A Space Force spokesman said Colonel Kenneth Klock deleted Meyers because he “lost her leadership skills.” The spokesman added: “The commander is expected to adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially with regard to the nonpartisan who performs his duties.”
Vance and second wife Usha Vance visited Pituffik Space Base in late March criticize Denmark’s leadership on the semi-autonomous island claims that NATO countries “do well without Greenland’s people” and “underinvestment in safe buildings”. Vance suggested that Greenlanders could seek independence with Denmark, “from there we will have a dialogue with the people of Greenland.” He said he did not think military forces were needed to take over the island in response to Mr. Trump’s remarks.
According to a spokesperson, the base is now supervised by Colonel Sean Lee.
Located in the northwest of Greenland, Pituffik Space Base is the northernmost device of the U.S. military, dating back to the Cold War.
Despite the driving force behind political leaders in Greenland and Denmark, Mr. Trump repeatedly expressed interest in controlling Greenland with national security concerns. According to A, about 85% of Greenlanders do not want to join the United States Recent polls.
