Vice President JD Vance defended President Donald Trump's Greenland policy push, telling Newsmax on Thursday that the United States already provides implicit protection for the Arctic territory and should share in its resources because of its strategic importance.
Trump on Wednesday announced a "framework" for a Greenland deal is in place after talks with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Davos, Switzerland.
Trump revealed few details of the deal but told CNBC it would include access to mineral rights for the U.S. and its European allies, as well as collaboration on the Golden Dome missile defense system.
