The head of the US military base in Greenland has been fired after she reportedly sent an email distancing herself from Vice-President JD Vance's criticism of Denmark.
Last month, Vance said Denmark had "not done a good job" for Greenlanders and had not spent enough on security while visiting the Danish territory.
The alleged email, released by a military news site, told staff Vance's comments were "not reflective" of the base.
During his whirlwind trip, Vance had also reiterated Trump's desire to annex Greenland for security reasons.
She added that Denmark was fortifying its military presence in the Arctic, and offered closer collaboration with the US in defending the region. »
