Today, only one American base is left\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009and something like 200 soldiers. We can do more, much more, within the framework we have today\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009Let us do it together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump\u2019s public desire to take over Greenland from Denmark has placed the future of the Arctic island and its 57,000 people in the geopolitical spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Vance, together with US national security adviser Mike Waltz and energy secretary Chris Wright, visited the Pituffik Space Base and accused Denmark of not doing \u201ca good job by the people of Greenland\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory in the kingdom of Denmark but a majority of its population eventually want independence from Copenhagen.<\/p>\n<p>Danish officials, who unveiled a $2bn defence package after conceding that they had not invested enough in the island\u2019s security, initially took a cautious approach to Trump\u2019s expansionist claims. But in the past week they have grown more assertive.<\/p>\n<p>Rasmussen said Vance had also admitted that the US had not invested enough in the Arctic. \u201cThe fact is, we all have been harvesting the peace dividend. We all acted on the assumption that the Arctic was and should be a low-tension area. But that time is over. Status quo is not an option,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has argued that the US has fallen behind Russia and China in areas such as icebreakers as its two biggest geopolitical rivals gear up for a melting of the ice in the far north.<\/p>\n<p>But Danish and Greenlandic officials have been horrified by his rhetoric that \u201cwe have to have\u201d Greenland, refusing to rule out military force.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday Vance said that he did not think \u201cmilitary force is ever going to be necessary\u201d, in part because he expected Greenlanders to choose independence from Denmark and thereafter a closer partnership with the US. The vice-president added that there were threats from China and Russia to Greenland, but experts said the sole public threat had come from the US.<\/p>\n<p>Denmark has sent troops to fight alongside US\u00a0soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq and its officials were dismayed by the criticism from their closest security ally. But they were also relieved that Vance did not escalate matters. \u201cI thought it would have been worse,\u201d one said.<\/p>\n<p>Frederiksen said that Vance\u2019s criticism was not \u201ca fair way to refer to Denmark\u201d, which she called \u201ca good and strong ally\u201d to the US.<\/p>\n<p>Under a wide-ranging defence agreement from 1951, the US is allowed to set up military bases across Greenland as long as it does not impinge on Denmark\u2019s sovereignty. <\/p>\n<p>Greenlandic and Danish officials said that they had proposed several times in recent years for the US to increase its military footprint but America has instead scaled back its presence.<\/p>\n<p>Greenland unveiled a new, broad government coalition on Friday. Nielsen has criticised Vance for a lack of respect by announcing his uninvited visit while the government formation talks were still taking place. A number of Danish ministers have said they will soon visit, now that a new government has been formed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/f8e07161-75bc-4ed3-81e7-3e8a084223ef\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
