The United States believes that Greenland is critical to US missile defense, Vice President J. D. Vance said in an interview with Fox News, APA reports.
“Greenland is critical not only to our national security, but to the national security of the entire world. The entire missile defense infrastructure depends in part on Greenland“, he said.
The US vice president believes that Denmark has failed to adequately ensure the island's security.
“Ask yourself if Europe, if Denmark, has done the right job of ensuring the security of Greenland so that it can continue to serve as a pillar of global security and missile defense? The answer is definitely no. They have not invested enough in its security; "They didn't do a good enough job," he said.
