One would have to believe we're living in a parallel universe to see the Vice President of the United States of America, not only visit Greenland, but chastise the Dutch government for "uninvesting" in the island.
Denmark had strong words for JD Vance after his visit to the NW airbase on the island.
"We are open to criticisms, but let me be completely honest, we do not appreciate the tone in which it's being delivered," Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on X.
"This is not how you speak to your close allies, and I still consider Denmark and the United States to be close allies," he said.
JD Vance, in his infinite wisdom, was quick to unleash criticism on the little known, peaceful island:
"Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland," Vance told a press conference.
"You have under-invested in the people of Greenland and you have under-invested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass," he added.
About 57,000 people live on this remote, arctic island. Most are Inuit. There is a belief this large landmass has vast oil, mineral, and uranium reserves. If President Trump hoped to make a good impression on the island, it failed.
His desire to take over the island has been rejected by Greenlanders, the politicians, and Danish officials.
Incoming prime minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said the territory needed unity at this time.
"It is very important that we put aside our disagreements and differences ... because only in this way will we be able to cope with the heavy pressure we are exposed to from outside," he said.
If America was really enthusiastic, they'd go after the France islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. Secretly nestled off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador are islands that are not part of Canada -but France.
