US vice-president says he wants to ‘check out’ security as Denmark welcomes move to rule out some sites after protests from Greenlandic leaders
US vice-president JD Vance has decided to join his wife, Usha, on a trip to Greenland later this week, attracting even more attention to the controversial visit criticised by both Greenlandic and Danish leaders.
In a social media post last night, Vance said:
There was so much excitement around Usha’s visit to Greenland this Friday that I decided that I didn’t want her to have all that fun by herself, and so I’m going to join her.
I say that speaking for President Trump: we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it’s important to protecting the security of the entire world.
Unfortunately, leaders in both America and in Denmark, I think, ignored Greenland for far too long.
