During a recent visit, US Vice President JD Vance criticized Denmark for failing to adequately protect Greenland’s security, pointing out the under-investment in the region and emphasizing its strategic significance. Vance’s comments come in the midst of renewed US interest in potentially acquiring Greenland, with a focus on peaceful negotiations. However, Danish and Greenlandic leaders have condemned Vance’s uninvited visit, with a recent poll indicating that the majority of Greenlanders are against US annexation. The controversy surrounding Greenland’s sovereignty and its geopolitical importance continues to be a point of contention between the US, Denmark, and Greenland.
