Fmr Amb. Sands to Newsmax: Greenland Wants Independence From Denmark

Denmark’s attempt to prevent Greenland from working closely with the U.S. and President Donald Trump ultimately will fail, former U.S. Ambassador Carla Sands told Newsmax on Friday.

Sands appeared on “Wake Up America” the same day Vice President J.D. Vance, national security adviser Mike Waltz, and their wives visited Pituffik Space Base in Greenland amid the backdrop of Trump having said the U.S. should, in some form, control the mineral-rich territory of Denmark, a traditional U.S. ally and NATO member.

Before the U.S. delegation’s visit, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen praised Greenlanders and said they “have not been cowed.”
