Security in the Arctic should be built through dialogue and interaction, according to the Russian Federation

On March 28, Vance said that the Danish authorities were not making sufficient efforts against Greenland due to China and Russia's interest in the region. He noted that the US administration fears for the safety of the island, and stressed that Greenland would be better off under American protection.

Earlier, on March 26, US President Donald Trump said that Greenland's accession to the United States was necessary to ensure national and international security.
