“The US has sacked the commander of its military base in Greenland over her alleged attempts to ‘subvert President Trump’s agenda’ after hosting the American vice-president on the Arctic island. Colonel Susannah Meyers was removed as commander of the Pituffik Space Base late on Thursday after reports that she had sent an email critical of vice-president JD Vance’s visit to the island last month. … ‘I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the US administration discussed by vice-president Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,’ the email sent on March 31 said, according to military.com. Greenland has been thrust into the geopolitical spotlight after President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he intends to take over the Arctic island of 57,000 people from Denmark and has refused to rule out using force to do so.” (04/11/25)
