- Trump cited reasons such as fueling a manufacturing boom with Greenland's rare earth minerals, building a missile defense system, bolstering America's Arctic presence, and combating Russian and Chinese resource quests, while Vance presented a softer approach.
- Vance's visit and statements aimed to convey the U.S. Commitment to the region's security, suggesting that the acquisition would benefit Greenlanders, while Trump kept military force as an option, echoing similar American rhetoric from over a century ago regarding Greenland's strategic importance and resources.
