Vance: Europeans Should Take Trump Seriously About Greenland

US Vice President J.D. Vance advised European leaders to take President Trump's statements about the potential purchase of Greenland seriously. The statement was made during a press conference at the White House, where Vance stressed that the United States is concerned about the security of the region. Vance argued that Europeans need to take Greenland's security more seriously, otherwise the US will be forced to take action. This statement is interpreted as a warning to European countries not to underestimate Trump's intentions. Trump's desire to buy Greenland had caused intense discussion and reaction in the past. Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and its inhabitants do not want the region to be sold. Vance's recent statement rekindles interest in the issue and raises new questions about the geopolitical intentions of the United States in the Arctic.
