“I do not presume understand the current policy, but what I know is that the concerns of the US administration discussed by Vice-President Vance do not reflect the basis of the Pituffik space,” wrote Meyers in email.
“I commit that, as long as I have the chance to direct this base, all our flags will proudly fly – together,” added the message.
Late Thursday in the United States, the Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell announced that Meyers had been withdrawn from his post, explaining that “the actions aimed at undermining the chain of command or overthrowing the order of the day of President Trump will not be tolerated”.
Parnell did not specify the reason for the dismissal in his declaration, but included a link to the military article.com.
Vance went to the Pituffik military base with an American delegation on March 28, among Trump’s repeated threats to grasp Greenland, a Danish territory Auto-Strict rich in critical minerals and located in a key strategic place in the Arctic.
During the visit, Vance criticized Denmark’s management of Greenland, suggesting that the territory would be safer under American protection due to the perceived threats of China and Russia. He argued that Denmark had under-infringement of Greenland security and infrastructure and pleaded for American control of the territory.
After the visit, the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said: “We are open to criticism, but allow me to be completely honest, we do not appreciate the tone in which he is delivered.”
The new Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, also said that Greenland was not to sell and qualified Trump’s aggressive openings “threat to our political independence”.
