Vice President JD Vance announced a visit to Pituffik Space Base in Greenland on Friday, according to the Financial Times. Vance aims to assess security amid rising U.S. interest in the island. His statement follows Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s accusation that the U.S. is placing “unacceptable pressure” on Denmark and Greenland. Trump claimed Greenland’s recent elections favored the U.S., but all five parliamentary parties rejected his statement. Eighty-five percent of the island's residents oppose joining the United States.
