During a visit to the US military base in Pituffik, Greenland, Vice President JD Vance criticized Denmark’s efforts in securing the Arctic territory, stating the US could offer better protection against growing threats from Russia and China. Vance emphasized the importance of Greenland to US national security and pledged increased investment, including naval ships and icebreakers, though he confirmed there are no immediate plans to expand troop presence.
Vance’s remarks, seen as echoing former President Donald Trump’s past interest in acquiring Greenland, sparked backlash from Danish and Greenlandic leaders. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the comments unfair, defending Denmark’s commitment to the region. Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen acknowledged Denmark’s limitations but pointed out that US military presence has also diminished since the Cold War.
Greenland’s new Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, condemned the visit as disrespectful, urging unity among Greenlanders amid rising international pressure. Although Vance promised to respect Greenland’s sovereignty and promote economic development, locals remain wary. Protests erupted in Nuuk, with demonstrators opposing US involvement and asserting Greenlandic autonomy.
The US maintains a strategic presence in Greenland under a 1951 agreement, with Pituffik base playing a crucial role in missile defense. The Arctic region’s untapped mineral wealth, rare earth elements, and emerging naval routes have drawn global interest, particularly from China and Russia.
Despite strong opposition from Greenland’s population, Vance insisted the territory would benefit from a closer alliance with the US. Trump further fueled controversy, stating that Greenland is essential for global peace and American security. Analysts warn the US may use economic and diplomatic pressure to increase influence, rather than military force.
The Biden administration has yet to clarify its stance, but tensions between allies continue to rise over Arctic interests.
