Greenland: ‘You don’t talk to close allies that way’ – Denmark hits back at JD Vance

Published on March 29, 2025 at 03:00 PM

Denmark has kicked against United States Vice President, JD Vance’s claim that it has not done enough for Greenland.

The US vice-president and his wife Usha were in the Greenland on Friday during a trip to the Pituffik space base in north-western Greenland.

His comments have been viewed by both Copenhagen and Nuuk as a provocation.

“Our message to Denmark is very simple: you have not done a good job by the people of Greenland,”; Vance told a press conference.

He went on to accuse Denmark of underinvesting in the people and security architecture of Greenland.

Danish foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen responded via on X on Saturday.

The minister said, “We are open to criticisms, but let me be completely honest, we do not appreciate the tone in which it’s being delivered.

“This is not how you speak to your close allies, and I still consider Denmark and the United States to be close allies.”;

Before now, President Donald Trump had argued that America needs the vast Arctic island for national and international security and has refused to rule out the use of force to secure it.

Vance added, “I think Greenland understands that the United States should own it.

“And if Denmark and the EU don’t understand it, we have to explain it to them. We need Greenland. Very importantly, for international security, we have to have Greenland.”
