U.S. Vice President JD Vance has expressed concerns about Greenland's current security arrangements under Denmark, proposing a shift towards U.S. protection as a superior alternative. During a recent visit to Pituffik, Greenland, Vance highlighted the need for enhanced security, accusing Denmark of neglecting the region's defense architecture.

Vance stated that Denmark has not invested sufficiently in Greenland's security infrastructure, which poses risks in the increasingly strategic Arctic region. He emphasized the United States' commitment to driving policy changes that enhance Greenland's security posture.

By suggesting Greenland align with U.S. security measures, Vance advocates for a change which he believes would improve the island's stability and safety more effectively than current Danish efforts.
