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.

1. I'm sure he'll treat them with the same courtesy and respect he gave Zelenskyy.

[Bayard]

18. He wants to make them an offer,

He thinks they can't refuse.

[Walleye]

2. Vance is not a serious person. Drunk on power like the rest of them.

28. J. V. Vance is a f'ing knob.

[hamsterjill]

29. This made me laugh!

Thanks! I needed that!

[Ray Bruns]

3. How does one say "Go fuck yourself" in Danish?

[sop]

5. "Fuck dig selv"

[Dave Bowman]

7. Apparently it's Fuck dig selv. 👍

[Ray Bruns]

8. Thanks. I'll fire this off to JD Vance and Marco Rubio so when the Danish representatives start screaming

At them they will know what they are saying.

[sop]

4. The "opportunity to discuss the political and economic situation."

Other than Denmark’s top diplomat, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, and his Greenlandic counterpart, Vivian Motzfeldt, telling Rubio and Vance to just "fuck off," what else is there to discuss?

[Diamond_Dog]

6. As an Ohioan, I sincerely apologize for producing this nincompoop Vance and inflicting his disgraceful persona

onto the world stage as our vice president.

[C_U_L8R]

9. Someone should tape it

It could be comedy gold.

[maxsolomon]

25. I suspect it will be broadcast

it's going to be an ambush like the Oval Office dressing-down Trump & Vance gave Zelenskyy.

Neither Prime Minister should indulge this crap.

[C_U_L8R]

30. They'll be ready for an ambush

With dry piercing Nordic wit.

[NBachers]

10. As usual, Amateur Hour at the White House

[KS Toronado]

11. Hope the Generals in the Pentagon understand what happens

if they attack Greenland. All of our troops in Europe will become POWs instantly and all our American made
tanks, planes, ammo, etc. will be used against us.

[Solly Mack]

12. Hmmm

[Lovie777]

13. I thought the real elected president of Venezuela.............

coming into town with the Noble Peace Prize.

[Aristus]

14. Jesus Christ.

Vance has the diplomatic acumen of a syphilitic wolverine with a lit M-80 up its ass.

[Traildogbob]

15. After our ships

Land in Greenland to “steal all the Natural resources”, then kill half the population with guns, then spread deadly diseases in gifted blankets like Measles, Covid, Polio, mumps and pretty much every disease we once conquered with vaccines, that kill another 2/3, will we herd the survivors into Reservation's and allow Trump Casinos and legal weed in those reservations to appease and calm the indigenous people down? (Just keep your culture in there, tourist can come see it if they want to)
Why the hell are we surprised at America repeating history, especially when theft for greed is involved?
Maybe we will get another Thanksgiving celebration, and holiday that we spend millions on for stuffing our oversized guts. All to emphasize How much they love us for civilizing them, and bringing our version of Christianity to them.
MAGA, God bless America. (Some more)

[Ocelot II]

21. Since Denmark has universal health care, the Greenlanders will have been vaccinated

against all those diseases. Greenland is not a Third World country; it's just not densely populated, and the indigenous Inuit people aren't primitive. They also carry guns as protection against polar bears.

[Traildogbob]

22. My analogy was flawed.

Good they are vaxxed. We will not need to pass out blankets. We will carry the diseases in our unvaxxed military asses.
As a Navy vet, we got dozens of shots for each deployment. I wonder if that happens under Hagueseth.
But comparing Americans for invasion to steal resources holds true. Especially historically as Christians.
Question…..will we not be immigrants there?
Hypocrisy is deep.
I did not mean to and apologize to the Inuit people.
I am certain they are extremely tough people.
I hope NATO has their back.

[Javaman]

16. ah yes, yet another one sided conversation where the foreign ministers will be yelled at for not saying thank you. nt

[Paladin]

17. Vance's one saving grace is his ability to fuck things up.

Here's hoping he continues with that malignant talent at this critical Greenland meeting. If we're really lucky, Rubio will be distracted with daydreams of being the new Fuhrer of Cuba.

[EuterpeThelo]

19. As Keith Olbermann calls him

J.V. Vance. Dude has the qualifications of a duvet cover.

[underpants]

27. J. V. Vance. I like that.

The whole cabinet is 3rd string JV

20. Reminds me of another "historic" meeting with similar tones:

Adolf Hitler met with the Czechoslovak President Emil Hácha in the early hours of March 15, 1939, in Berlin. During the meeting, Hitler threatened a devastating bombing of Prague, the Czech capital, unless Hácha agreed to the immediate German occupation of the rest of Czechoslovakia.
The Meeting in Berlin (March 15, 1939)
Context: After the Munich Agreement of September 1938, in which Britain and France ceded the Sudetenland border regions to Germany, Czechoslovakia was left militarily and economically vulnerable. Hitler, ignoring his promises, intended to occupy the remainder of the country.
The Meeting: Hácha, who had succeeded Edvard Beneš as president, traveled to Berlin on March 14, 1939, to negotiate with Hitler, hoping to preserve his nation's independence. He was kept waiting for hours and finally met with Hitler and other Nazi officials (including Hermann Göring and Joachim von Ribbentrop) at 1:15 a.m. on March 15.
Coercion and Threats: Hitler informed Hácha that German troops were already ordered to march into Czechoslovakia at 6:00 a.m. and that any resistance would be "broken with physical force". Göring explicitly threatened to completely destroy Prague from the air.
Hácha's Collapse: Faced with this intense pressure and the dreadful ultimatum, the elderly Hácha suffered a heart attack or fainted during the meeting. He was revived by Hitler's personal physician, Dr. Theodor Morell, with an injection to continue the negotiations.
The Agreement: At 3:55 a.m., Hácha was forced to sign a document placing the fate of the Czech people and country "in the hands of the Führer".
Aftermath: German troops entered Bohemia and Moravia that same day, encountering virtually no resistance, save for a small skirmish at Místek. Hitler made a triumphant entry into Prague by evening, proclaiming the German Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia on March 16, 1939.
Records and minutes of this coerced meeting were later used as evidence during the Nuremberg Trials.

23. Ought to be a short meeting.

Vance will say the US must have Greenland. The ministers from Denmark and Greenland will leave.

[IcyPeas]

24. Will Jared be there with an attache case carrying billions of dollars?

[Irish_Dem]

26. He will arrive with empty suitcases and leave with them full of cash.

[Botany]

31. The talks

J.D., America wants to take over Greenland.

Greenland, No

Denmark, its not gonna happen... tell me Mr. Vice President how would you feel if we and the other nations sold off your government notes crashing your economy and pulled all of our Ambassadors?

[liberalgunwilltravel]

32. Kidnap him

While he’s there. That’s legal now.

[Stargleamer]

33. I hope they don't capitulate to any extent whatsoever. . .

all of Greenland's wealth and minerals belong totally to its people, not to the US government.

[GiqueCee]

34. And it's worth noting...

... that all this supposed mineral wealth is under a fucking mile of ice! Did it ever occur to these shitwits that Greenland would have already exploited this wealth if they could get at it?
Oo! Oo! Maybe President Baggypants really wants to nuke the ice sheet! He's always wanted to nuke something.

[travelingthrulife]

35. DO NOT SHOW UP GREENLAND. Sorry to shout but quit playing the fascist's game.
