Danish foreign minister scolds Trump administration after Vance trip to Greenland

Season 1, Ep. 7226

The Danish foreign minister scolded the Trump administration on Saturday for its "tone" criticizing Denmark and Greenland during Vice President JD Vance's visit to the strategic island.


Vance — joined by his wife, second lady Usha Vance, national security adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah — on Friday visited the Pituffick Space Base, the northernmost U.S. military installation, in Greenland. The trip had been scaled back after an uproar among Greenlanders and Danges who were not consulted about the original itinerary. While there, the vice president blasted Denmark for its handling of the island, saying the U.S. base in Greenland is less secure than it was decades ago because of Denmark's stewardship.
