President Trump today again made clear his desire to take over Greenland, which is a self-governed part of Denmark.

Vice President Vance, along with his wife, and the president's national security advisor,

traveled to the American military base there today to again make their case,

which has enraged the governments of Greenland and Denmark and driven another wedge between the U.S.

and Europe. Here's Stephanie Sy.

The trip began on a frigid tarmac. J.D. Vance and the second lady Ushah Vance whisked away

to a U.S. military base in Greenland's remote northwest.

It's cold as shit here.

Potific Space Base supports U.S. missile defense and space surveillance,

and was the Vance's only stop.

Today, the Vice President emphasized benefits of what he called a partnership.

And if the people of Greenland were willing to partner with the United States,

and I think that they ultimately will partner with the United States, we could make them much more secure, we could do a lot

more protection, and I think they'd fare a lot better economically as well.

What was supposed to be a cultural visit by the vice president, complete with a dog sled race,

was in the end heavily scaled back, a cold shoulder, if you will.

We are not for sale.

Amid widespread protests from everyday Greenlanders like Casper Frank Moeller, a tour operator in the capital Nook.

Everybody's welcome also the Americans, also Trump, but it needs to be on the circumstance of the Greenlanders,

that they will accept us as a sovereign state, as Greenland becoming independent being their own country.

Denmark's prime minister reiterated her country's position.

We would really like to work together with the Americans on defense and security.
