Greenland: JD Vance takes ominous message to Danish territory

Summary

Nutrition label

71% Informative

US Vice-President JD Vance visited Greenland with an ominous message to the world's largest island.

Vance said Greenland needs to wake up to threats posed by an expansionist China .

Greenland is beginning a slow, very cautious move towards full independence from Denmark .

The speed and contempt with which the Trump White House has rejected its traditional reliance on Western allies Nato has left its partners bewildered.

Greenland has large reserves of goodwill towards the US and keen interest in doing more business with American companies.

A 74-year-old treaty with Denmark permitting the US to increase its military presence in Greenland at any time from new bases to submarine harbours - should surely take care of Washington 's concerns about countering the threat from China .
