VP JD Vance touched down in Greenland and opened with, “It’s cold as s*** here!”, because diplomacy works better when there’s rapport.
New York Post reports:
Vice President JD Vance arrived Friday in Greenland — which President Trump hopes to annex — and was ready with some humor, telling US military personnel: “It’s cold as s— here! Nobody told me.”
Vance, 40, said Air Force Two flew over some “pretty cool spots” approaching the northern coast of the world’s largest island before he sat down for lunch with some of the roughly 600 US troops at the Pituffik Space Base.
ADVERTISEMENTThe vice president was joined on his whirlwind stop in the Arctic by second lady Usha Vance, national security adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
Trump has lobbied for Greenland’s roughly 56,000 residents to sever ties with Denmark and join the United States to boost American interests in the region, including control over important shipping routes and access to rare earth elements.
It was indeed frigid outdoors, where the temperature was -3 degrees Fahrenheit.

If only he had watched the film D2: Mighty Ducks, he would’ve been prepared.

This place looks like the ice planet Hoth.
You need serious warm gear if you’re going outside over there.
