Vance reminded that the U.S. already has a military presence on the island.
According to the future vice president, during a recent visit by Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., the local residents expressed a desire to "have the right to develop their own resources." Media reports suggest that Trump Jr. bribed homeless individuals for a publicity campaign during his visit to Greenland. The Republican believes that the Danish authorities have not done enough to ensure the region's safety.
He noted that this is a "great opportunity" for the U.S. to "take the initiative in securing Greenland and exploiting its natural resources."
Vance also added that Trump is best at making deals.
