US Vice President JD Vance on Friday criticised Denmark, insisting that the country has failed to keep Greenland safe from numerous aggressive incursions by Russia and China.
Vance made the remarks during a visit to a US military base at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland.
According to him, there is strong evidence that both Russia and China seek control of the island and access to its resources.
He was joined at Pituffik Space Base by Energy Secretary Chris Wright and White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.
“Our message to Denmark is very simple,” Vance said.
“You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland. Denmark has not kept pace in devoting the resources necessary to keep this base, to protect our troops, and, in my view, to safeguard the people of Greenland from numerous aggressive incursions by Russia, China, and other nations.”
This comes as US President Donald Trump continues to advocate for a US takeover of the island.
