Despite opposition from Denmark and Greenland, Trump confirms interest in controlling the territory and sends Vice President Vance on a visit that becomes a security mission

Donald Trump continues to insist on control of Greenland, explicitly stating that the island is crucial for international security. ‘We need Greenland for global security. We need it, we must have it,’ he reiterated during a speech on the Rumble platform.

His stance drew strong reactions from Greenland and Denmark, who objected to the announced visit of the second lady, Usha Vance. In response to the criticism, Trump also decided to send Vice President JD Vance to ‘monitor Greenland’s security’. In a video posted on X, Vance stated that the mission will focus on protecting the island, citing hypothetical threats from other countries, even though there have been no concrete attacks against Greenland.

The sending of the vice-president marks a clear ‘upgrade’ of the mission, which was initially intended to be a cultural event. Accompanied by senior officials, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, the visit turned into a reconnaissance of the US military base Pituffik, above the Arctic Circle. Vance made it clear that his departure was in agreement with Trump, with the intention of strengthening the security not only of Greenland, but of the entire world.

This move has raised political concerns in Denmark, with some observers talking of ‘escalation’ and comparing the situation to Russian policies before the annexation of Crimea in 2014. However, some experts suggest that limiting the mission to a visit to the military base could be seen as a less provocative gesture, compared to the planned visit to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, which was later cancelled.

The Danish government welcomed the change of course, with Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen stating that there was no opposition to the visit to the Pituffik military base. ‘It is good that the Americans are not visiting the people of Greenland, but only their base,’ Rasmussen said.
