The vice president shared a video montage Monday of his recent visit to the Danish territory in which he claimed Donald Trump is "a president of peace."

N UUK, Greenland — U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his wife are due to visit an American military base in Greenland on Friday in a trip that was scaled back after an uproar among Greenlanders and Danes who were irked that the original itinerary was planned without consulting them.

President Trump has pushed for Greenland’s roughly 56,000 residents to sever ties with Denmark and join the United States.

Danish channel TV 2 reported that U.S. representatives knocked on doors in Greenland's capital Nuuk to see if residents would welcome a visit from Usha Vance.

A planned U.S. delegation to Greenland was cut from a three-day cultural visit to less than 24 hours on the tundra amid possible protests.

President Donald Trump said this week that the U.S. “would go as far as we have to” to take ownership of territory."

Washington — Vice President JD Vance said Friday during a day trip to a U.S. base in Greenland that the Trump administration doesn't think that "military force is ever going to be necessary" there, the same day President Trump said, "We have to have Greenland."

Vice President Vance looked to appeal to Greenland by urging it to side with the US, not Russia or China, after it seeks independence from Denmark.

Greenland's mineral riches are an increasing focus of the U.S. and, as the vice president recently warned, America's rivals.
