In an interview with Fox News Sunday, J.D. Vance that “it is possible” that the United States will take over Greenland.
At the same time, Donald Trump’s vice president is lashing out at Denmark.
“There’s something that I think a lot of people don’t understand about Greenland. This is really important for our national security.”
“There are seaways that the Chinese and Russians use, and frankly, Denmark, which controls Greenland, does not do its job. It’s not a good ally," J.D. Vance for Fox News.
“So you have to ask yourself how we should solve that problem, solve our national security, and if that means that we have to take more territorial interests in Greenland, that’s what President Trump will do, because he doesn’t care what the Europeans are crying out to us. He cares to put the interests of the American people first," J.D. continues. Vance.
The vice president of the United States also highlights another point that “people are not aware of.”
“There are probably 55,000 people living in Greenland who are not actually happy with the Danish government,” J.D. Vance.
“They have great natural resources there, they have an incredibly rich country that the Danes don’t let them develop and explore.”
“Donald Trump, of course, would have a different approach if he was Greenland’s leader,” the vice president said.
He keeps saying that USA has an interest in it because they have an interest in it.
There’s no reasoning except for daddy Trump saying he wants it.
Well he did mention the resources…
The resources have not been mined because it’s not financially feasible, yet.
China who are otherwise masters of long term planning discarded the idea about 15 years ago. They wanted to invest in Greenland by building airports and make a transport hub on Greenland for both cargo and passengers in exchange for mining permissions. They backed out because it’s simply not a good business.
Despite the ice melting, it’s going to take a long time for it to be worth the effort. Perhaps 30-50 years or so, assuming they’re still worth anything in the future and if transport can be done cheaply by boats. Donald Trump would be long gone by then anyway.
