Vice of the US made a brief visit to the Danish autonomous region and took the opportunity to say badly about Denmark. Trump made no visit to the Danish autonomous region but took the opportunity to intimidate Denmark and Europe
At one time just a few hours to Gronelândia, US vice president JD Vance told US troops that the US has to gain control of the Arctic Island to wage the threat of China and Russia and reiterated criticism of Denmark. “Our message to Denmark is very simple: they did not do a good job. They did not invested in the people of Gronelândia and did not invested in the safety of this incredible and beautiful land,” Vance said during a visit to Pituffik space base on Friday.
Jd Vance, the highest US representative to visit the island, began to thank the troops for the “warm reception in a very, very cold place,” and then turned his attention to US National Security, saying that US base in Granelândia is vital to monitoring missile threats to North America and will play a role in the future of “Arctic Passages and Naval Channels.” Vance stated that China and Russia are becoming more interested in Arctic than US allies in Europe and scolded Denmark for “underwrond” in the “safety architecture” of the territory. “This just has to change.”
Vance made it clear that the Trump administration’s disagreement is not with the people of Greenland, but “with the leadership of Denmark.” Granelândia, he said, would be better “under the US security umbrella than under Denmark’s security umbrella.”
However, when asked Trump’s promise to take over the island’s control, the vice president stated: “We respect the self-determination of the groneses.” And about the fact that the United States has elaborated a military plan to seize the territory, Vance replied that it provides that the Gronesees choose to separate from Denmark and then talk to the United States to determine their future. “We think the military force will never be necessary,” he said.
“We’re ready – day and night – to cooperate with Americans,” says Denmark
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was soon reacting to Vance’s words. “The US Vice President made it clear that the US respects Groelândia’s sovereignty and the right of the Gronendese to self-determination. It was important that this was clear,” Frederiksen says in a statement cited by the BBC. “A is a good and strong ally. For everyone in the NATO alliance.”
“We have increased significantly on defense expenses. For many years, we have been side by side with Americans in very difficult situations,” the prime minister recalled, in response to Jd Vance’s accusations, stressing that “Arctic security is a question for NATO and all Arctic Allies.” “We are ready – day and night – to cooperate with Americans. Cooperation that should be based on the necessary international rules. And a reinforced defense for all parts of the NATO alliance.”
Trump promises to “explain” things to Denmark and Europe
On the other hand, at the White House, this Friday, Donald Trump reiterated his that the US needs Gralelândia for “world peace.” “I think Gronelândia understands that the United States should be its owners,” he said at a press conference. “And if Denmark and EU do not understand it, we have to explain to them. We need Granelândia. Very important, for international security, we have to have Granelândia.”
While Vance spoke to the military in Gronelândia, Trump shared on social networks a video produced by the Lóbi Securing American Greatness group, which describes US interests in Grolândia. The video features images of the Gronelândia landscape, as well as file images that seem to come from newsstands from the 1940s, showing how the US helped prevent Nazis from invading the island. “But today Granelândia faces new threats – Russian aggression and Chinese expansion,” says the narrator.

The video describes the partnership between the US and Gronelândia, which grows with “every Arctic patrol, each partnership forged in the shadow of the defrost and the increase in tensions.” “This is not just history. It is fate,” while music stirs in the background and iceberments are shown on the screen. “Now is the time to come together again,” he continues. “For peace, for security, for the future. America is with Gronelândia.”
