The Vice President’s decision is Prime Minister of Greenland The planned trip of senior Trump officials said it was “highly aggressive” because President Trump did not reject his hope of obtaining the semi-dominant territory of Denmark. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is also expected to visit Greenland soon.
“Hello everyone, it’s Vice President JD Vance,” Vance said in a video posted on social media. “And you know, Usha’s visit to Greenland this Friday was so excited that I decided not to want her to have such fun on her own, so I’m going to join her.”
“I will visit some of the guardians of the space force on the northwest coast of Greenland, and just check the security of Greenland,” Vance continued. “As you know, this is really important. Many other countries threaten to use their territory and waterways, threaten the United States, threaten Canada, and of course the people of Greenland. So we’re going to see how things are going.”
Vance did not explicitly mention Mr. Trump’s desire to obtain Greenland, but they said they wanted to “revive the safety of Greenland people because we think it’s important to protect the world.”
“Unfortunately, I think both the leaders of the United States and Denmark have ignored Greenland for too long,” he said. “It’s bad for Greenland, it’s bad for the security of the whole world. We think we can take things in a different direction, so I’m going to check it out.”
Despite being rejected by local officials, Mr. Trump did not give up on the idea of obtaining Greenland.
Heather Conley, an Arctic geopolitics expert and former deputy secretary of state, told CBS in the morning that the Trump administration was “absolutely right” that Greenland’s strategy to protect the U.S. missiles and protect U.S. space and sea space is strategic, but if we are not careful, we don’t want to, unfortunately, our allies will resist our security and prosperity in our security and prosperity. ”
Conley said several U.S. governments have already planned to buy Greenland, so Mr. Trump is not the first. However, NATO and its bilateral defense agreement with Denmark make this unnecessary. She fears the Trump administration’s comments will backfire.
“Yes, I mean, that’s this true remark,” she said. “Similarly, we have an amazing ally in the Kingdom of Denmark and Greenland officials, and we have a rich history of defense cooperation. They are ready to increase defense spending. The Danish government has increased defense spending. They will do it again. They may do it again. Very focused on the private security of the Arctic, the Arctic, but when we provide a private attitude to the United States. Say, you are threatening our national security.
