Rep. Seth Moulton warned that Trump wants to “take over” some countries due to their proximity to China and Russia.

During a conference at the U.S. military space base in Pituffik, Vice President J.D. Vance stated that the United States is committed to shielding Greenland from possible threats linked to Russia and China.

Vance calls for a closer U.S. partnership with Greenland to counteract Russian and Chinese influence in the North Atlantic region.

It threatened an icy reception amid President Donald Trump's vow to control Greenland. "It's very positive the Americans canceled," Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said Wednesday.

Amid President Donald Trump’s talk of the U.S. acquiring Greenland, Vice President JD Vance has taken on a role of White House good cop, using softer language as his boss keeps the option of using military force on the table.

Vice President JD Vance's remarks in Greenland come as President Trump continues pushing for the U.S. to annex the island.

President Donald Trump did not rule out military force to acquire Greenland in an interview as the Danish territory continued to rebuff his advances.

President Trump continues to express interest in the U.S. gaining control of Greenland, citing foreign threats. Carla Sands, the former U.S. ambassador to Denmark and Greenland, says having control of that country is about countering China and Russia.
