Vance Openly Menaces Denmark In Greenland Speech

“There was a lot of criticism from Denmark, a lot of attacks at the Trump administration, at the president, at me, at others in our administration for saying the obvious, which is that Denmark hasn’t done a good job at keeping Greenland safe. Recognizing that there are important security partnerships in the past does not mean that we can’t have disagreements with allies in the present about how to preserve our shared security for the future. And that’s what this is about.

“There is no amount of bullying, no amount of obfuscating, no amount of confusing the issue. Our message to Denmark is very simple. You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland. You’ve under-invested in the people of Greenland and you have under-invested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people. That has to change and because it hasn’t changed this is why President Trump’s policy in Greenland is what it is.

“It’s consistent with the first Trump administration, where you saw significant investments in Arctic security and it will continue over the next four years under President Trump’s leadership.” – JD Vance, speaking with US soldiers lined up behind him and setting the stage, some observers say, for US military action in Greenland.
