US VP Vance criticises Denmark over Greenland investment and safety concerns

ai generated text

US Vice President JD Vance recently visited Greenland as part of a trip to the Pituffik Space Base, a US military installation in northwestern Greenland. During his visit, Vance made several comments critical of Denmark's handling of Greenland's security. He accused Denmark of not doing enough to protect the island from threats such as China and Russia, and suggested that Greenland should consider severing its ties with Denmark, which has controlled the island for over 300 years.

  1. DK
    Frederik X
    1. There should be no doubt that my love for Greenland and my connectedness to the people of Greenland are intact.
  2. DK
    Mette Frederiksen
    Social Democratic Party
    1. And I look forward to close cooperation in an unnecessarily conflict-filled time. Strong with a broad government and unity between different political parties. You show the strength of democracy.
  3. DK
    Mogens Lykketoft
    Social Democratic Party
    1. We must fight our case at the UN, where it is certain that an overwhelming majority of countries will join in condemning American aggression against Greenland, and then we must appeal directly for support from the 70 percent of Americans who are against conquering Greenland.
  4. US
    Donald Trump
    Republican Party
    1. We have to have Greenland. It's not a question of: 'Do you think we can do without it?' We can't.
  5. US
    James David Vance
    Republican Party
    1. We need Greenland for national security and international security. So we'll go as far as we have to go. We need Greenland. And the world needs us to have Greenland, including Denmark. Denmark has to have us have Greenland. And we'll see what happens. But if we don't have Greenland, we can't have great international security.
    2. These people want to turn Europe into a permanent protectorate. The problem: if it was ever a good idea, it is simply not sustainable with $2 trillion in annual deficits.
    3. We are worried for our families who live in Greenland and we are concerned about what will happen to them if annexation occurs, as Trump has threatened.
  6. DK
    Lars Trier Mogensen
    1. On the one hand, they de-escalated by skipping the PR stunt. On the other hand, it's a symbolic escalation that the highest-ranking official is visiting Greenland.
  7. US
    Fred Wellman
    1. Just disgusting behavior by the worst VP in modern history.
