The commander of the American base in Greenland, Colonel Susan Meyers, who distanced itself from the statements of the US Vice President JD Vance, was dismissed. It will be replaced by Colonel Shawn Lee. AFP reported on Friday, from which TASR drew.
During his recent visit to a military base, Pitufik Vance criticized Denmia for “not doing enough for the Greencans” by allegedly not investing in safety. US President Donald Trump is repeatedly interested in this island.
Meyers in E -Maili sent on March 31, to which Militara’s portal got, she wrote that “she spent a weekend thinking about (Vance) visiting – the actions performed, pronounced words and how it had to influence each of you.”
According to an unnamed source, all employees of the base, including those from Denmark and Greenland, were the addressees of the e-mail. According to Militara, the seeming goal was to “create unity between pilots and guards, as well as Canadians, Danes and Greenks who work there after Vance’s performance.”
“I do not assume that I understand the current politics, but I know that the concerns of the American administration, which was spoken by Vice President Vance on Friday, do not reflect the situation at the space base Pitufik,” wrote the Colonel, who led the US facility since July last year.
“Commanders are expected to observe the highest standards of behavior, especially as regards the maintenance of impartiality in the performance of their responsibilities,” the US space forces said late in their statement on Thursday evening.
Pentagon’s attitude
A spokesman for Pentagon Sean Parnell on the X Network, in turn, wrote that the Ministry of Defense “will not be tolerated activities that would undermine the command or agenda of President Trump”.
The US President insists that the United States need Greenland for national and international security, and refuses to exclude the use of power to achieve this goal.
