Vance urged Europe to take Trump's plans for Greenland seriously.

According to ТСН: US Vice President Jay D. Vance urged European leaders to reduce their skepticism towards President Donald Trump's intentions regarding Greenland. This statement was made during a briefing at the White House.

Vance emphasized the importance of the island's status for the security of the Western world, noting that the European reaction to Trump is 'excessive' and does not reflect real threats. He provided several key arguments in favor of increasing US influence in this region. First, Greenland is critical to the global missile defense system not only of the United States but also of the entire world.

Secondly, Vance noted that the region is attracting growing interest from countries that Washington considers potential adversaries, including Russia and China in the Arctic.

'My advice to European leaders and anyone else is: take the President of the United States seriously. We urge you to treat the security of this territory with full responsibility,' said Jay D. Vance.

Diplomacy instead of confrontation

The Vice President also assured that the US does not intend to act contrary to international law. Washington plans to continue diplomatic consultations with all parties interested in the future of the Arctic region.

It is worth noting that earlier the possibility of financial compensation for residents of the island in case of its transfer under US jurisdiction was discussed, which caused outrage in Denmark and Greenland.

Meanwhile, the US Senate has prohibited Donald Trump from conducting military actions in Venezuela.

These statements from Vance reflect not only the US strategy in the Arctic region but also the complex international relations in which every effort can significantly impact global security. Observers note that cooperation between the United States and European partners is becoming increasingly important in turbulent times.
