From Greenland Vance attacked Denmark and assured that it was better for the island to be in the United States

US Vice President JI Vance criticized Denmark during his visit to Greenland on Friday because she had not done a good job of protecting the island from China and Russia and assured that the United States would invest in resources as additional naval ships, although they did not have an immediate plan to expand Navy.

Greenland’s new prime minister said a visit to the United States was a signal of « lack of respect » and called for unity to « pressure from outside », and on social networks the King of Denmark said: « We live in a changed reality. There should be no doubt that my love for Greenland and my relationship with the Green people are unobtrusive. »

Why do the US need Greenland

Greenland’s security will be better if it is part of the United States, Vance said. « Our dispute is really with the leadership of Denmark, which has not invested enough in Greenland and in its security architecture. It just needs to change. The US policy is what will change … I think you would be very good … if you go under the US security umbrella than under Denmark. »

Vance also talks about the « raids » of Russia and China without specifying what they are.

Trump: The US cannot rely on another

President Donald Trump, who, during the visit, told reporters to the White House that the United States need Greenland to guarantee « peace of the world ». « We need Greenland, which is very important for international security. We need to have Greenland. The question is not » do you think we can do without it? « We can’t, » Trump said.

Trump said that there are « Chinese and Russian ships everywhere on the waterways of Greenland » and the US will not rely on Denmark or anyone else to cope with the situation. Denmark and the EU understand why Greenland is important to peace in the world « and if they do not, we will have to explain it to them, » Trump added.

A White House spokesman said that Greenland has enough stocks of editorial minerals that would drive the next generation of the US economy.

A change in plans

The US delegation also includes the wife of Vance Usha, National Security Advisor Mike Walz and Energy Minister Chris Wright. The initial plan for the trip was Vance’s wife to visit a canine harness on the island with Walz, although they were not invited by the authorities in either Greenland or Denmark.

Public protests and the resentment of the Green and Denmark authorities made the US delegation fly only to the military base and not meet with the public.

Under the terms of an agreement of 1951, the United States has the right to visit its base when they wish, as long as they notify Greenland and Copenhagen. Pituffik is located in the shortest way from Europe to North America and is vital to the US ballistic missile warning system.

Political unity

The new Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederick Nielsen has called for political unity. « At a time when we as a people are under pressure, we must be together, » Nielsen said at a press conference.

His pro-business party, the Democrats, which supports gradual independence from Denmark, became the largest party in the March 11 election.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Fredericksen, who called the original plans for the visit to the United States « Unacceptable », congratulated Greenland on the new government in a publication on Instagram: « I look forward to close cooperation in unnecessary conflict -filled time. »
