U.S. Vice President Criticizes Denmark's Role in Greenland's Security

During a recent visit to the U.S. military's Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, Vice President JD Vance openly criticized Denmark for what he described as insufficient efforts to protect Greenland from potential threats posed by Russia and China. Vance emphasized the strategic importance of Greenland, citing increased interest in Arctic passageways, naval routes, and mineral resources from global powers.

He assured Greenlanders that the U.S. would invest in additional resources, including naval ships and military icebreakers, to bolster security in the region.

Denmark's response to Vance's remarks has been mixed, with Greenland's new prime minister calling the U.S. visit a "provocation" and Denmark's King Frederik reaffirming his commitment to Greenland's people. The visit has sparked discussions about the balance of power and security in the Arctic, as well as Greenland's future alliances.
