Description

The visit to the space base was less likely to put the Vances near Greenlanders who may be expressing those opinions.

Ulrik Pram Gad, senior researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies, said that Vance going to Pituffik Space Base “from a Greenlandic perspective, is a lot less aggressive, because that’s a place where Greenlanders are used to American officials. It’s far away from anyone Greenlandic, basically.”
