U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance’s surprise stop at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland—a self-governing region under Denmark—has ignited mixed reactions in Copenhagen. CGTN chatted with locals about what the trip really means. 🌍
🛩️ Morten, a resident, called it a “show of U.S. strength,” suggesting it’s less about diplomacy and more about flexing geopolitical muscles. Meanwhile, Jens criticized the move as “uncivilized” for sidelining Greenland in talks. 💬 “If you’re longtime allies, act like it,” he argued.
The visit comes amid growing U.S. interest in the Arctic’s strategic and environmental importance. Pituffik, also known as Thule Air Base, is the U.S.’s northernmost military installation—closer to Moscow than D.C. 🥶 Could this be a real-life Game of Thrones power move? Fans in Denmark are split.
