Vice President JD Vance reiterated on Friday his support for U.S. annexation of Greenland during a press conference at Pituffik Space Base on the island's northwestern coast. He also took several jabs at Denmark's stewardship of the territory, arguing that the Danish government has failed to adequately invest in the island's security and infrastructure.
Speaking to reporters alongside his wife Usha, the vice president said that "the story of Greenland over the past 20 years when it comes to security is that we've underinvested in the infrastructure." He noted that when he initially made similar statements "there was a lot of criticism from Denmark for saying the obvious, which is that Denmark has not done a good job at keeping Greenland safe."
