副总统JD·万斯在亚美尼亚发表言论之际，特朗普政府正推动收购丹麦领土
副总统JD·万斯周二表示，如果美国要”承担保护这片巨大陆地的责任”，就应该从格陵兰获得”一些利益”。
万斯在亚美尼亚对记者说，在特朗普政府推动收购丹麦领土之际，”格陵兰谈判还处于非常早期的阶段”。
“过去几周我们在这方面做了不少工作，但事情很简单。格陵兰对美国的国家安全非常重要，”万斯补充道。
“我确实认为，我们的一些盟友在北极安全方面投资不足，如果我们要投资北极安全，如果我们基本上要投入大量资金并承担保护这片巨大陆地的责任，我认为美国从中获得一些利益是合理的，这将是未来几个月谈判的重点，”万斯说。
俄罗斯、中国挤压美国北极防御区，特朗普紧盯格陵兰
总统唐纳德·特朗普1月中旬表示，美国需要格陵兰”出于国家安全的目的”。
“我们正在打造的’黄金穹顶’计划至关重要，北约应该引领我们获取它。如果我们不这样做，俄罗斯或中国就会，这绝不能发生！”特朗普当时表示。
一周后，特朗普说：”基于我与北约秘书长马克·吕特进行的非常富有成效的会面，我们已经形成了关于格陵兰以及整个北极地区未来交易的框架。”
北约秘书长警告：随着格陵兰问题紧张局势升级，没有美国欧洲无法自保
“如果这项解决方案能够达成，那将对美国和所有北约国家都是一个巨大的利好，”总统在Truth Social平台上表示。
然而，丹麦首相梅特·弗雷泽里克森随后坚称，尽管特朗普宣布了这项交易的”框架”，丹麦不会就其主权进行谈判。
“北极安全是整个北约联盟的事务。因此，北约秘书长与美国总统之间就此进行讨论是合理且自然的。丹麦王国长期以来一直致力于推动北约加强在北极的参与，”弗雷泽里克森在一份丹麦语声明中指出。
“我们一直与北约保持密切对话，我与北约秘书长马克·吕特持续沟通，包括在他与特朗普总统在达沃斯会面之前和之后。北约完全了解丹麦王国的立场。我们可以就政治、安全、投资、经济等所有方面进行谈判。但我们不能就我们的主权进行谈判，”她强调。
据路透社报道，格陵兰外交大臣薇薇安·莫茨菲尔德本月早些时候表示，”我们正在通过与美国的谈判寻求外交解决方案”，并且她”充满希望和乐观，相信我们会找到尊重我们红线的共同点”。

Vance: US should get ‘some benefit’ from Greenland if it’s going to be ‘on the hook’ for protecting territory
Vice President JD Vance made remarks in Armenia as Trump administration pushes to acquire Danish territory
Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that the United States should get “some benefit” from Greenland if it’s going to “be on the hook for protecting this massive landmass.”
Vance told reporters in Armenia that, “it’s very early in the Greenland talks,” amid the Trump administration’s push to acquire the Danish territory.
“We’ve been working quite a bit on this over the last few weeks, but it’s just very simple. Greenland is very important to the national security of the United States of America,” Vance added.
“I do think that some of our allies have under-invested in Arctic security, and if we’re going to invest in Arctic security, if we’re basically going to pay a lot of money and be on the hook for protecting this massive landmass, I think it’s only reasonable for the United States to get some benefit out of that, and that’s going to be the focus of the negotiations here over the next few months,” Vance said.
RUSSIA, CHINA SQUEEZE US ARCTIC DEFENSE ZONE AS TRUMP EYES GREENLAND
President Donald Trump said in mid-January that the U.S. needs Greenland “for the purpose of national security.”
“It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building. NATO should be leading the way for us to get it. IF WE DON’T, RUSSIA OR CHINA WILL, AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!” Trump said at the time.
A week later, Trump said, “Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region.”

“This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations,” the president said on Truth Social.
However, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen then insisted that Denmark would not negotiate on its sovereignty despite Trump announcing the “framework” of a deal.
“Security in the Arctic is a matter for the entire NATO alliance. Therefore, it is good and natural that it is also discussed between NATO’s Secretary General and the President of the United States. The Kingdom of Denmark has long worked for NATO to increase its engagement in the Arctic,” Frederiksen noted in a statement, which was written in Danish.
“We have been in close dialogue with NATO and I have spoken to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on an ongoing basis, including both before and after his meeting with President Trump in Davos. NATO is fully aware of the position of the Kingdom of Denmark. We can negotiate on everything political; security, investments, economy. But we cannot negotiate on our sovereignty,” she asserted.
Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt said earlier this month that, “We are pursuing a diplomatic solution through negotiations” with the U.S. and that she is “hopeful and optimistic that we will find common ground that respect our red lines,” according to Reuters.
