JD Vance to host Greenland talks at the White House [View all]

Source: Guardian

JD Vance will host a meeting with the foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark amid rising tensions over Donald Trump’s push to gain control of the Arctic island.

Denmark’s top diplomat, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said he and his Greenlandic counterpart, Vivian Motzfeldt, had requested the meeting with the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and the vice-president had asked to take part and would host it at the White House on Wednesday.

“Our reason for seeking the meeting we have now been given was to move this whole discussion … into a meeting room where we can look each other in the eye and talk about these things,” Rasmussen told reporters in Copenhagen on Tuesday.

Denmark will also host a meeting of the foreign, security and defence policy contact committee of the Danish, Greenlandic and Faroese governments on Wednesday. Officials said this would be an “opportunity to discuss the political and economic situation”.

Vice Troll Juvenile Delinquent Vance isn't qualified to do anything other than troll and kiss Trump's ass, let alone host a high-level meeting.

But apparently JD and his puppetmasters are worried that Rubio might be even semi-rational and adult if he handled the meeting himself, so Vance will be there to interfere and deliver stupid threats as red meat for MAGA.
