US Vice President Vance continues to talk about the US future in Greenland, but says that he does not believe that military force is necessary for the US to expand its presence on the Arctic island.
He says Trump holds the same opinion for his plans for Greenland.
Greenland, he says, is "extremely vulnerable right now". He says that he thinks Greenlanders will want to partner with the US, despite opinion polls showing widespread opposition from the local population to US governance.
Vance says "we think we're going to be able to cut a deal, Donald Trump-style, to ensure the security of this territory".
He says "this has to happen" and again blames Denmark, saying they haven't kept the area safe.
The vice-president now criticises Denmark, saying the area surrounding the Pituffik Space Base is "less secure" than it was 30-40 years ago.
He says as Russia and China have "taken greater and greater interest in this base", our allies in Europe haven't kept up.
Vance says Denmark has not invested enough to keep the area safe.
