JD Vance hits out at Denmark during Greenland visit after Donald Trump says US 'needs' the island
Spread The Viralist



JD Vance has told Denmark it has “not done a good job” with Greenland during a visit to the territory – as President Donald Trump repeated his call for the US to take over the island.

Vice President Vance, his wife Usha and other senior US officials arrived at an American military base in Greenland, the semi-autonomous territory that has been a part of Denmark for more than 600 years.

“Our message to Denmark is very simple: you have not done a good job by the people of Greenland,” Mr Vance said. “You have underinvested in the people of Greenland, and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people. We need to ensure that America is leading in the Arctic.”

  1. Look who's talking. Baba Vance from the backwoods. Like Yankees did a good job. This is when NATO should step in and fullfill its mandate.

  2. Total amateurism. Not a single word he pronounced is true. It is causing a great damage to USA reputation worldwide. None is mirrroring Greenland except D.Trump. There is no security issue. USA may have more than a single military base their. If someone has neglected its security it has been the USA. Finally, the first people to settle there (except for the extreme NW) were the Norse, in X century… Neolonialism at its operetta rehearsal is quite pathetic

  3. Greenland:

    Receives €500M/year from Denmark — over 50% of its public budget

    Receives €225M in EU development funds

    Has universal healthcare, education, and broad political autonomy. Oh, and it can vote for full independence whenever it chooses.

    Ohio – JD Vance’s own hometown:

    In his own book "Hillbilly Elegy", he shows us a USA community ravaged by:

    Opioids, poverty, mental illness, failing schools and no healthcare

    Oh, did I mention that this administration is further de-investing in the parts of government that were already failing to deliver on all of these elements?
    So I'm pretty confident I know who is taking better care of their people.

  4. We invented words like arrogance, ignorance and disrespect to describe people like Vance.
    If Greenlands Security was not good enough, it is a job for NATO and not only Denmark. USA didn't care enough because of the focus on war on terror.
    Now they flip it to be up to Denmark so that the story sounds like them taking control by overtaking Greenland.

    MAGA is living on a lie abd a flipped reality and Europe needs to NOT accept that.
