Fox News presenter Jesse Watters discussed Donald Trump’s obsession with Greenland and JD Vance’s VERY short trip to a US military base there, where he wasn’t welcome.
“It’s cold as s*** here,” said the US vice president when he touched down in Greenland.
“This is what we think is going to happen” re. their hopes islanders will vote for independence from Denmark and then engage with America.
“We do not think military action will be necessary,” he added, when asked about that potential.
The battle over Greenland is set to intensify this week as Denmark’s prime minister Mette Frederiksen travels to the Arctic island just days after U.S. Vice President JD Vance visited and lambasted the Scandinavian country for neglecting the vast territory.
During her visit, Frederiksen will “discuss the cooperation between Greenland and Denmark” with the island’s new Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, the Danish government said.
“I look forward to continuing the close and trusting cooperation between Greenland and Denmark together with Jens-Frederik Nielsen and the rest of the Government of Greenland,” Frederkisen commented ahead of the trip

Watters said: “We don’t need friends. If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland. We’re big boys. We dropped a-bombs on Japan and now they are our ally… America is not handcuffed by history.”
