Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance touched down in Greenland and toured a U.S. military base. In remarks delivered later the same day, the vice president said that China and Russia are eyeing the strategic Arctic island.
Soon after arriving, Vance spoke to U.S. troops stationed at the Pituffik Space Base on the northwest coast of Greenland, according to on-camera remarks. He said the administration is “really interested in Arctic security” and predicted that the issue will increase in the coming years.
