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?

          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?

        Maybe they should have their cell phones searched just like those Europeans trying to enter the U.S… It’s not like any Signal threads JD may or may not be on have classified information, right?
