WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that he’s joining his wife on a Friday trip to Greenland, suggesting in an online video that global security is at stake.

“We’re going to check out how things are going there,” Vance said in a video shared Tuesday. “Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it’s important to protecting the security of the entire world.”

        Interesting point. Can the US military just fly anyone they like into their overseas bases in Europe etc, then just exit the base into the hosting country, having skipped immigration controls?

          Well technically they can fly anyone into them, nothing stops the host country denying them entry if they try to leave the base though.

          Probably wouldn’t ever happen except in a very rare case like this one but yeah it could happen somewhere the way America’s been trolling Europe in general.

      The us can control anything they want.

      Foreign minister shows up with a paper reading persona non grata, that’s it.

        And how do you picture the Danish Foreign Minister getting to this air base that is the only one in the region, and getting past the American security?
