This afternoon, Vice President J.D. Vance is set to touch down in Greenland after deciding to join his wife Usha on her trip there. In a video on X, he explained that:
‘There is so much excitement about Usha’s visit to Greenland this Friday that I decided that I did not want her to have all that fun by herself, so I am going to join her. I’m going to visit some of our guardians in the Space Force on the northwest coast of Greenland and also just check out what is going on with the security there of Greenland.’
Vance accused previous US administrations and Denmark of having ignored Greenland for too long and argued that as other countries threatened to use its territories and waterways to endanger the US and Canada, President Trump wanted to ‘reinvigorate’ the security of the country. This, according to Vance, is important for ‘protecting the security of the entire world.
