During his time at the Pitfic military base, Wanes criticized the management of Denmark of Greenland, inspiring Danish External Affairs Minister Lars Lokes Rasmusen to express displeasure in the voice of these criticisms.
Rasmusen replied on social media that “We are open for criticisms, but let me be completely honest, we do not appreciate the tone in which it is being distributed.”
Vance on Thursday repeated his critics through Newsmax News Channel, suggesting Greenland’s wish for freedom from Denmark.
“I think they want to be independent of Denmark, and again when they do so, we can interact about our relationship with the United States and Greenland,” he said.
