US Vice President says that strength will not be necessary in Greenland

We believe that military force will never be necessary. We believe that the inhabitants of Greenland are rational and (…) that we will reach an agreement to Donald Trump’s style to ensure the safety of this territory and also the United States, “Vance said during his visit to the only US military base in the region. JD Vance, US Vice President.

Earlier, Donald Trump had stated that the US needs Greenland to ensure international security.

We need Greenland, it is very important for international security. We need Greenland. (…) We are not talking about peace for the United States, we are talking about world peace Donald Trump, US president.

Strategic importance

The American base in Pituffik is an advanced US antimyseal defense post, as the shortest missile trajectory of Russia to the United States passes through Greenland. It is also a strategic place for the northern hemisphere surveillance and the defense of the huge Arctic Island, which, according to the American administration, the Danes have neglected.

Rejection to the USA

With the US government harassment of the island, which is experiencing a moment of political transition, the Danes and the Greenlandes, supported by the European Union, hardened the tone before the arrival of the American leader. “Visiting when there is no government in power is not considered a sign of respect for an ally,” said Greenland Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen, who had just introduced the new Greenland coalition government, who was a formed to “deal with strong external pressure.”
