U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha arrived Friday at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, setting the stage for a lively debate on international diplomacy. As CGTN spoke with Danish residents in Copenhagen, the visit quickly turned into a forum for contrasting opinions.
Morten, one local, remarked that the high-profile visit seemed more like a showcase of American power rather than a genuine attempt at dialogue. On the other hand, Jens criticized the approach, arguing that the U.S. should be engaging in a more respectful conversation with Greenland, a long-time ally, instead of resorting to what he described as undignified tactics.
This incident underscores the complexities of global interactions in today’s interconnected world. Whether seen as a strategic power move or a missed opportunity for meaningful engagement, the event has resonated with a diverse audience—from digitally savvy young global citizens to business and tech enthusiasts, and even thought leaders advocating for smarter, more respectful international relations.
