I guess he thinks Greenland will surrender to Trump
Vice President JD Vance said Friday that he does not foresee military force being needed in Greenland while visiting the semiautonomous Danish territory with other Trump administration officials.
“We do not think that military force is ever going to be necessary,” Vance told reporters in remarks from a US base in Greenland. “We think this makes sense and because we think the people of Greenland are rational and good, we think we’re 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.”
Earlier, the vice president reiterated the US’ interest in Greenland, saying that it is needed for “the safety of the American people.”
“What the president has said is that we need to have more of a position in Greenland. We need it, again, for the safety of the American people. And what we think is going to happen is that the Greenlanders are going to choose, through self-determination to become independent of Denmark, and then we’re going to have conversations with the people of Greenland from there,” Vance said.
