Vice President JD Vance said on this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that President Donald Trump will continue to try to acquire Greenland no matter “what the Europeans scream at us.”
Host Maria Bartiromo asked, “Do you expect the U.S. to acquire Greenland?”
Vance said, “I think it is possible, Maria. So here’s the thing that I think a lot of folks don’t appreciate about Greenland: it’s really important to our national security. There are sea lanes there that the Chinese use, that the Russians use, that frankly Denmark, which controls Greenland, it’s not doing its job and it’s not being a good ally.”
He continued, “So you have to ask yourself, how are we going to solve that problem, solve our own national security? If that means that we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland, that is what President Trump is going to do because he doesn’t care about what the Europeans scream at us. He cares about putting the interests of America’s citizens first.”
Vance added, “You have got probably 55,000 people living on Greenland who are not actually happy with the Danish government. They have great natural resources there. They’ve got an incredibly bountiful country that the Danes aren’t letting them develop and explore. Of course, Donald Trump would take a different approach if he were the leader of Greenland.”
