Vice President JD Vance told US service members at a green land base that he only recently realized what they were doing there.
Vance and his wife, Second Lady Ushha Vance, visited a ‘national security’ on Friday to the autonomous area, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Vice President’s boss, President Donald Trump, said the US needs Greenland for international safety and security and has suggested that it be willing to take it in any way.
The Vice President has now fully embraced Trump’s position, despite understanding Americans’ anxiety about the pursuit of the country.
“I think a lot of Americans wonder why Greenland matters so much?” Vance said during his remarks at the Pituffik spatial base. “And I learned a lot about it today. You can read it in a book, but I saw it up close and in person. ‘
Service members stationed at the base will first notify US officials of a possible missile strike of an enemy country, issue a warning and try to decline the object, the vice president said.
The countries, including Russia and China, take an extraordinary interest in articles and articles of the articles and in the minerals of the Arctic areas, “the vice president added. “We have to make sure America leads in the Arctic because we know if America doesn’t, other countries will fill the void where we fall behind.”
He continued: “What you do is so critically important. I think many Americans – I certainly did not fully realize it until President Trump began to talk about the importance of our Arctic mission, to build on it and ensure that America will lead the next generation in the Arctic.”
While Vance may have had a brightening journey, politicians from Greenland and Denmark expressed their disapproval.
Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen calls it “very aggressive”, while Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said he did not appreciate the “tone” adopted by the Trump administration.
The travel plan for the trip was widely scaled back, with visits to the capital Nuuk of Greenland and one of the world’s largely dog -canceled dog -canceled dogs. Danish TV 2 also reported that US officials went through door to door and asked if anyone wanted to offer the second lady. The reaction of Groenlanders was no, claims the outlet.
