  • Vice President JD Vance traveled to Greenland to promote President Donald Trump's claim that America has to have the Danish territory
  • and that Greenlanders would be more secure under U.S. protection.

The article discusses U.S. Senator J.D. Vance's criticism of Denmark for rejecting former President Donald Trump's proposal to purchase Greenland. Vance described Denmark's stance as "absurd and unlawful," arguing that Greenland's strategic importance could benefit the U.S. in terms of military and economic interests. He suggested that the U.S. should consider annexing Greenland, highlighting the island's resources and its potential role in countering China's growing influence in the Arctic. This proposal has reignited discussions about Greenland's geopolitical significance, especially in light of its autonomy from Denmark and the broader implications for international law and sovereignty.
