US Vice President JD Vance's recent Greenland visit caused significant tension and raised concerns about American intentions.
Vance's message, while attempting reassurance, implied Greenland should abandon Denmark and align with the US for protection against China.
This approach was met with resistance from Greenland's new government and its people, highlighting the desire for self-determination and independence.
The incident underscores complex geopolitical dynamics in the Arctic, involving competing interests and differing perspectives on sovereignty and security.
