Tensions erupted after U.S. Vice President JD Vance slammed Denmark for failing Greenland. During his visit to the Pituffik Space Base, Vance accused Copenhagen of neglect and underinvestment. Denmark’s foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen publicly rebuked the remarks, calling the tone “disrespectful.” Danish PM Mette Frederiksen also defended her country, calling Vance’s statement “not accurate.” The diplomatic rift comes as Trump renews his push to buy Greenland, a territory vital to U.S. security plans.
