Things are getting heated in international politics.
J.D. Vance has ruffled some feathers.
And he just received a startling message from a key foreign leader.
J.D. Vance has been a very loyal deputy to Donald Trump and supports him in his quest to obtain Greenland from Denmark.
This, of course, has ruffled the feathers of the Danish and their current prime minister who announced a plan to visit the territory and took some shots at the Trump administration.
According to Breitbart, “Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is traveling to Greenland on Wednesday for a three-day trip aimed at building trust and cooperation with Greenlandic officials at a time when the Trump administration is seeking control of the vast Arctic territory.”
“Frederiksen announced plans for her visit after U.S. Vice President JD Vance visited a U.S. air base in Greenland last week and accused Denmark of underinvesting in the territory.”
The desire for the U.S. to obtain Greenland has to do with strategic objectives, not to aquire more landmass.
Breitbart continues, “Greenland is a mineral-rich, strategically critical island that is becoming more accessible because of climate change. Trump has said that the landmass is critical to U.S. security. It’s geographically part of North America, but is a semiautonomous territory belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark.”
“Frederiksen is due to meet the incoming Greenlandic leader, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, after an election last month that produced a new government. She is also to meet with the future Naalakkersuisut, the Cabinet, in a visit due to last through Friday.”
“The Trump administration’s threats to take control of the island one way or the other, possibly even with military force, have angered many in Greenland and Denmark. The incoming government wants to take a slower approach on the question of eventual independence.”
Greenland wants to be independent, but it doesn’t seem Denmark is going to allow that any time soon.
If the U.S. took control of Greenland, it’s likely they would receive more funding for their infrastructure than they currently are, although it would not satisfy their desire to be an independent country.
