Visiting Greenland, Vance Finds the Weather and the Reception Chilly
Briefly

President Trump has strongly reiterated the United States' need for Greenland, stating it cannot be without it. This comes as Vice President JD Vance leads a significant political expedition to inspect the territory, albeit limited to an American air base. The extreme weather challenges were highlighted during the trip, yet they served a dual purpose of showcasing U.S. intentions toward Greenland. Trump's determination to acquire the territory has been a longstanding ambition, reflecting deeper geopolitical interests beyond mere acquisition.
When Mr. Vance's plane touched down in the midday sunshine, 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle, it was minus 3 degrees outside.
Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday: We have to have Greenland. It's not a question of Do you think we can do without it.' We can't.
