The head of the U.S. military base in Greenland has been fired after she sent an e-mail distancing herself from JD Vance’s criticism of Denmark.
The official excuse released by the Pentagon stated that Col. Susannah Meyers had been removed from her role at Pituffik Space Base due to a “loss of confidence in her ability to lead.”
From Military.com:
On March 31, Space Force Commander Col. Meyers sent a message to all personnel at Pituffik seemingly aimed at generating unity among the airmen and Guardians, as well as the Canadians, Danes and Greenlanders who work there, following Vance’s appearance. She wrote that she “spent the weekend thinking about Friday’s visit — the actions taken, the words spoken, and how it must have affected each of you.”
“I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,” Meyers wrote.
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.
Greenland, the world’s largest island, has been under Danish control for around 300 years.
Polls show that the vast majority of Greenlanders want to gain independence from Denmark – but do not wish to become part of the US.
(Danish dude, not Dutch dude:)
