Vice President JD Vance and a high-level American political delegation visited Greenland to explore real estate prospects, highlighting President Trump's determination to acquire the territory. The visit was met with resistance from Greenland officials, who viewed it as a show of power. The strategic importance of Greenland, particularly in the context of the Arctic competition with China and Russia, has made it a target for the US. Vance criticized Denmark's handling of Greenland's security and expressed the need for the US to protect the territory from encroachment by Russia and China.
