National Security Advisor Mike Walt is expected to visit Greenland soon.
“Hey guys, it's Vice President JD Vance,” Vens said video Published in social media. “And you know that this Friday in Greenland there was so much excitement that I decided that I didn't want her to have fun, and so I'm going to join her.”
“I am going to visit some of our guardians in the space power on the North Western coast of Greenland, and just read what's going on with the safety there,” Vens continued. “As you know, this is really important. Many other countries threatened Greenland, threatened to use their territories and waterways to threaten the United States, threaten Canada, and, of course, threaten Greenland people. So we will see how things are going.”
Vens did not mention Mr Trump's aspirations to buy Greenland, but said they wanted “to activate the security of Greenland's residents because we believe it is important to protect the safety of the world.”
“Unfortunately, the leaders in both America and Denmark, I think, has ignored Greenland too long,” he said. “It was bad for Greenland, it was also bad for the safety of the whole world. We think we can take things in the other direction, so I'll go check out.”
Mr. Trump did not give up the idea of acquiring Greenland, despite the rebuff of local officials.
Hiser Konley, Arctic Geopolitics Expert and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, told CBS Mornings that Trump administration is “absolutely correct” that Greenland is strategic for the United States in defense of Russian missiles and protection of US airspace and maritime space ” And the sea space. ”

“Yes, I mean, and this is what really retreats this type of rhetoric,” she said. “Again, we have a phenomenal ally in the Kingdom of Denmark and Greenland officials that we have such a rich defense history. Officials say you call us.
