US Vice President Jay Di Vance today estimated that Denmark “has not done a good job” in Greenland for international security during a visit to the only US military base on this ground.
“Denmark did not guarantee the security of Greenland well,” Vans said before the US troops. “Our disagreement is really with the Danish leadership. You have not invested enough in the people of Greenland and the security of this incredible and wonderful mainland inhabited by incredible people. That has to change. “
“It is the policy of the United States that will change,” he told reporters from the US base in Pitwyfik in Greenland. The US will invest in security, and with additional warships, he said.
“You have underestimated security architecture. Respect for the Greenlanders’ self -determination, “he said, according to Reuters.
“Greenland is less secure now than what it was a few decades ago and the Arctic island would be better under the United States’ security than under Danish administration,” he said.
“I think you would be much better … to come under the United States security umbrella than you were under Danish security umbrella”he said to the Greenlanders.
“We believe that Greenland will eventually work with the US that the Greenlanders will choose their independence from Denmark, and then we will have talks,” he added.
