NUUK, Greenland (AP) — U.S. Vice President JD Vance says Denmark has “underinvested” in Greenland’s security and demands Denmark change its approach as President Donald Trump continues to talk of taking over the Danish territory. The pointed remarks came Friday as Vance visited U.S. troops at Pituffik Space Base on the mineral-rich, strategically critical island. The Republican vice president says the Trump administration’s message to Denmark is very simple: “You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland.” Relations between the U.S. and the Nordic country have soured as Trump has repeatedly suggested the U.S. should control the territory.
