During a recent visit to Greenland, JD Vance emphasized the importance of US involvement in the Arctic, criticizing Denmark for inadequate investment in Greenland's people and security. Alongside US officials and troops, he argued that US territorial control would better protect against threats from China and Russia. Vance's comments reflect escalating tensions between the US, Denmark, and Greenland over national security and the Arctic's strategic significance. His remarks underline the Trump administration's focus on Arctic security and the need for enhanced US influence in the region.
Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland. You have underinvested in the people of Greenland and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass.
It is the policy of the United States that that will change. Greenland... would better off coming under the United States' security umbrella than you have been under Denmark's security umbrella.
Vance also said it was cold as shit here as he arrived to temperatures of -19C. 'It's cold as shit': US vice-president arrives in Greenland video.
...the Trump administration's argument was not with the people of Greenland. It was, he said, with the leadership if Denmark, which he accused of having underinvested in Greenland and its security.
