Vance said that Greenland is of decisive importance for the defense of the United States and the world from potential Russian or Chinese missile attacks, sharply criticizing Europe and Denmark for having \u201cnot done a good job\u201d in securing the strategic territory. His comments come as the White House confirmed that it is \u201cactively\u201d considering the option of purchasing Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory, the BBC reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview with Fox News, Vance was asked how far the United States is willing to go regarding Greenland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ARCTIC BLAST: VP Vance calls out Europe for failing to properly secure Greenland, which is \u201ccritical&quot; to our national security.<br><br>\u201cThe president of the United States is saying very clearly, you are not doing a good job with respect to Greenland. We\u2019re going to make sure we defend\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sgKhY8PX1V\">pic.twitter.com\/sgKhY8PX1V<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fox News (@FoxNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNews\/status\/2009292451781943586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cGreenland is crucial for the security of the entire world\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, the final decision will be made by the president, but there is a lot of pushback coming from Europe, and at the same time Europe has not grappled with the fundamental argument being made by the president and the entire administration. Greenland is crucial, not only for our national security, but for the security of the entire world. People don\u2019t understand that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe entire missile defense infrastructure partially depends on Greenland. If, God forbid, the Russians or the Chinese \u2014 I\u2019m not saying they will, but if in the future someone were to launch a nuclear missile toward our continent or toward Europe, Greenland is a key part of that defensive system,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo the question becomes: have the Europeans, have the Danes, done a good job of securing Greenland and ensuring that it can continue to serve as an anchor of global security and missile defense? And the answer is, obviously, no. They have invested too little in security. They have not secured that area well,\u201d Vance said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat I hear them say constantly boils down to the past. They say: we fought together in World War II or in the war on terror. And we are grateful for that. We love having such allies. But the fact that you did something smart 25 years ago doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t do something stupid today. The president of the United States is sending a very clear message: you are not doing a good job when it comes to Greenland. We will take care of protecting American interests, and I think the president is prepared to go as far as necessary to do that,\u201d Vance concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strategic importance of Greenland lies in its position between North America and the Arctic, making it ideal for early warning systems. The United States has maintained the Pituffik military base there for decades, with more than 100 permanently stationed troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, interest has also grown in the island\u2019s vast natural resources, including rare metals, uranium, and iron, which are becoming more accessible due to melting ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cGreenland belongs to its people\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Greenland and Denmark, a NATO member, have repeatedly made it clear that the island is not for sale. Trump made a similar offer in 2019 during his first term, but it was flatly rejected. Denmark warned that any attempt at a forced takeover would mean the end of the NATO alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European leaders have come to Denmark\u2019s defense. \u201cGreenland belongs to its people, and only Denmark and Greenland can decide on issues concerning their relations,\u201d said a joint statement by the leaders of France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They called for respect for the UN Charter, including sovereignty and territorial integrity, emphasizing that security in the Arctic must be achieved \u201ccollectively\u201d within NATO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cA clear threat\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aja Chemnitz, one of the two representatives representing Greenland in the Danish parliament, called the Trump administration\u2019s statements a \u201cclear threat.\u201d \u201cIt is completely disrespectful on the part of the United States not to rule out the annexation of our country and the annexation of another NATO ally,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, she believes annexation is unlikely, but expects that the United States will \u201capply pressure to ensure that over time it takes over Greenland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/born-on-christmas-died-on-christmas-eve-the-oldest-resident-of-the-zlatibor-region-grandpa-petar-passes-away-at-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BORN ON CHRISTMAS, DIED ON CHRISTMAS EVE: The Oldest Resident of the Zlatibor Region, Grandpa Petar, Passes Away at 101!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/without-power-since-christmas-eve-residents-of-krupanj-villages-furious-at-the-state-elderly-sick-and-children-at-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">WITHOUT POWER SINCE CHRISTMAS EVE: Residents of Krupanj Villages Furious at the State, Elderly, Sick, and Children at Risk!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/u-s-senate-considers-bill-to-impose-500-tariffs-on-countries-continuing-to-buy-russian-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">U.S. SENATE CONSIDERS BILL TO IMPOSE 500% TARIFFS ON COUNTRIES CONTINUING TO BUY RUSSIAN ENERGY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/total-economic-colonization-venezuela-will-buy-exclusively-products-made-in-the-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cTOTAL ECONOMIC COLONIZATION\u201d: Venezuela will buy exclusively products made in the USA!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/tucker-carlson-warns-america-is-preparing-for-a-world-war-this-trump-decision-proves-it-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">TUCKER CARLSON WARNS: America is preparing for a World war, this Trump decision proves it!
