“You have underinvested in the people of Greenland, and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people.

“That has to change.”

“I think that they ultimately will partner with the United States,” Vance added.

“We could make them much more secure.

“We could do a lot more protection.

“And I think they’d fare a lot better economically as well.”

That being said, Denmark’s foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen believes that the Trump administration needs to change its ‘tone’.

“Many accusations and many allegations have been made. And of course we are open to criticism,” Rasmussen said.

“But let me be completely honest: we do not appreciate the tone in which it is being delivered. This is not how you speak to your close allies.

“And I still consider Denmark and the United States to be close allies.”
