Vance and Trump try good cop, bad cop on Greenland

  • In March 2025, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance renewed discussions about the U.S. Acquiring Greenland, a Danish territory, with Vance visiting a U.S. Military base on the Arctic island on Friday for three hours.
  • 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.
  • Vance stated, "We cant just ignore the presidents desires" and "We think were going to be able to cut a deal, Donald Trump-style, to ensure the security of this territory  but also the United States of America," while Trump said, "I never take military force off the table."
  • The proposal faced criticism and incredulity, with some fearing long-term damage to U.S. Alliances and leadership, and social media users questioning the administration's approach and whether Greenlanders desired American intervention, though Vance maintained Greenland's future should be determined by its residents.
