Vice President JD Vance's recent visit to Greenland underscores the U.S.'s growing interest in Arctic security, a focus of President Trump's administration. During his trip, Vance humorously addressed military personnel about the harsh weather and emphasized the significance of Arctic stability as it is projected to increase over the coming decades. Accompanied by key officials, the vice president received briefings on Space Force operations in the area. The visit, which included a cancellation of a planned dog sled race attendance, illustrates diplomatic efforts toward bolstering U.S. influence in the region amidst local political challenges.
"It's cold as s- here! Nobody told me."
"The president is really interested in Arctic security, as you all know, and it's only going to get bigger over the coming decades."
"Thank you reporters. Get out of here so we can talk about this stuff."
Vance noted that he's the first vice president to visit Greenland.
