US removes commander in Greenland following Vance맥스카지노s controversial visit
The U.S. announced it removed the commander of the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland on Thursday because of a 맥스카지노loss of confidence in her ability to lead,맥스카지노 after Vice President JD Vance맥스카지노s controversial visit to the semiautonomous island last month.
맥스카지노Actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Donald Trump맥스카지노s agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense,맥스카지노 Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announcing the removal of Susannah Meyers.
Following Vance맥스카지노s visit to the island in late March, Military.com reported that Meyers sent out an email to the space base pushing back on the vice president맥스카지노s actions and comments during the trip. Parnell included a link to the Military.com story in his X post.
The news site reported the ousted commander wrote in an email, 맥스카지노I 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.맥스카지노
Colonel Shawn Lee took over Meyers맥스카지노 position, according to a from the Space Operations Command.
The removal highlights continued moves for United States control over Greenland as President Donald Trump has vowed to acquire the land 맥스카지노one way or another,맥스카지노 and Vance has repeatedly claimed the island is vulnerable and that the U.S. had 맥스카지노no other option맥스카지노 than to ramp up its presence there.

Vance, alongside his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, visited the U.S. Space Force outpost at Pituffik, on the northwest coast of Greenland, 1,000 miles from the capital of Nuuk last month. Usha Vance was originally planning to attend a dogsled race on the island, but expected protests and silent demonstrations altered her visit.
During his trip, the vice president made a high-profile case for American control of Greenland, which is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark. He said Greenland would be better off 맥스카지노coming under the United States맥스카지노 security umbrella than you have been under Denmark맥스카지노s security umbrella.맥스카지노
Trump has also been vocal about his goal to acquire Greenland and has said he 맥스카지노won맥스카지노t take anything off the table맥스카지노 to obtain the island, including military force, but that there is a 맥스카지노good possibility맥스카지노 it won맥스카지노t be needed. He also has confirmed he has 맥스카지노absolutely맥스카지노 engaged in serious discussions about the potential annexation of Greenland.
