On the campaign trail in 2024, JD Vance joked about his children&#8217;s egg consumption.
&#8220;These guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning, is that right?&#8221; then-Senator Vance joked in a Pennsylvania grocery store.
Running out to the store multiple times a week for eggs is enough to crack even the most hard-boiled parent. Fortunately for the vice president, it&#8217;s about to be a lot easier for the growing Vance flock to make breakfast.
For the first time ever, the Naval Observatory is hosting a chicken coop on its grounds, The Daily Wire can first report. Built by family-owned Carolina Coops, the Vance&#8217;s new addition was designed to match the architectural themes of the historic vice presidential residence. The coop was built at no cost to the American taxpayer, a source familiar with the project noted.
Matt and Gnon DuBoise founded Carolina Coops in 2008, with the goal of building &#8220;coops that are as functional as they are beautiful.&#8221; The company and its founders have become minor social media sensations, particularly on YouTube, where Matt shares parenting advice, coop design insights, and expounds on the benefits of raising chickens.
“Seeing our work become part of a historic residence like the Naval Observatory is a milestone I will never forget,&#8221; DuBoise told The Daily Wire. &#8220;As a small business owner, this is a true &#8216;American dream&#8217; moment for me and my family.&#8221;

&#8220;I am deeply grateful for the opportunity and excited to continue sharing the benefits and joy of raising chickens with people around the country, as well as how having a chicken coop can benefit families and teach kids valuable life lessons,&#8221; DuBoise added. &#8220;This project is more than just a chicken coop—it reflects the dedication of our entire team and the values that have guided us from the beginning.&#8221;
On Saturday, the Vance family held the second annual &#8220;Camp VPR&#8221; — an abbreviation for &#8220;Vice President&#8217;s Residence&#8221; — an event that brings children and families to the Naval Observatory for games, crafts, and more. This year, in partnership with the Department of Agriculture, local 4-H students were on hand to teach attendees about the newly installed coop.

EXCLUSIVE: JD Vance Is Installing A MAHA Staple At The Veep’s Residence

Second Lady Usha Vance just launched a new podcast aimed at children’s literacy, her office announced Monday.
The project, which is called “Storytime with the Second Lady,” will include Vance and special guests reading “good books out loud” and discussing why they love to read. 
&#8220;We will have someone come in—a &#8216;special reader,&#8217; we&#8217;re calling them—read a fun book, have a very short little conversation, and then invite children to pick up books on their own,” the <a href="https://x.com/SLOTUS/status/2038588810921996517">announcement</a> said. 
“It’s sort of just a little advertisement for reading,” Vance <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2038595454527484055">said</a> during an appearance on NBC News. When asked why this initiative was so important, the second lady mentioned the decline of literacy rates, calling the trend “worrisome.”
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Episode One: ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’ by Beatrix Potter, read by Second Lady Usha Vance" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HlqxCvyjlP4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The first three episodes are already posted, featuring the books “Peter Rabbit” by Beatrix Potter, Disney’s “Cars” featuring Danica Patrick, and “Playground Lessons” written and read by Brent Poppen.
Vance has made children’s literacy a focus of her office. At the beginning of March, she celebrated National Reading Month by reading to young patients at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/usha-vance-visits-children-at-hospital-for-national-reading-month">reported</a>.
“Childhood literacy is something that’s very important to me, both as a parent and as someone who grew up reading avidly,” Vance said at the time. “In particular, when children are spending a lot of time in the hospital it’s important that they have access to books, both as entertainment and to ensure they develop the essential literacy skills they will need for the rest of their lives. It’s an honor to spend time with these children and to encourage them to keep reading after they complete their stay here at the hospital.”
Earlier this year, the Vance family announced the happy news that they were expecting their fourth child together. The vice president, 41, and his wife, 40, have been married since 2014. 
With the birth of their new son expected in July, the couple will have joined a small club of presidents and vice presidents to have had a child while in office.
Episodes of “Storytime with the Second Lady” are available on YouTube and Spotify.

As schools and libraries nationwide kick off events for the beginning of National Reading Month, Second Lady Usha Vance joined in the celebration by reading to young patients at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C.
Vance held the event for patients ages 3 to 12 on Monday, March 2, per a press release from her office. The second lady selected “The Sneetches and Other Stories” by Dr. Seuss, which she mentioned was one of her favorite books to read with her own children. It was also the perfect choice for Monday, which happened to be Dr. Seuss’ birthday.
 “Childhood literacy is something that’s very important to me, both as a parent and as someone who grew up reading avidly,” Vance said. “In particular, when children are spending a lot of time in the hospital it’s important that they have access to books, both as entertainment and to ensure they develop the essential literacy skills they will need for the rest of their lives. It’s an honor to spend time with these children and to encourage them to keep reading after they complete their stay here at the hospital.”
The second lady further delighted the young patients by handing out puzzles, stuffed animals, and books after the event. She told the audience that she hosted the event because she loved reading as a child and hoped to encourage children to keep reading voraciously.
“The visit from Second Lady Usha Vance during National Reading Month beautifully reinforces the importance of reading and storytelling in a child’s development and healing journey,” said Elizabeth Wells, MD, MHS, executive vice president, chief clinical officer, and physician-in-chief at Children’s National, noting that the patients could enormously benefit from getting lost in the pages of books. 
“Books can provide comfort, connection and a sense of normalcy for children in the hospital. We are sincerely thankful for her time, her compassion and her commitment to supporting kids and families.”
Earlier this year, the Vance family <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/most-pro-family-administration-vances-announce-they-are-expecting-their-fourth-baby-in-july">announced</a> the happy news that they were expecting their fourth child together.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum wrote, “Congratulations, @VP and @SLOTUS! There is no greater joy than being a parent. Honored to work for an administration that puts family first!”

Trump Administration

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, MD—In a warm show of support to military families ahead of the Christmas holiday, First Lady Melania Trump and Second Lady Usha Vance spent Monday afternoon visiting with military families and crafting care packages for deployed service members.
&#8220;May this Christmas bring peace to your homes, safety to those who are deployed, and gratitude in the hearts of every American who thanks you for your service and sacrifice,&#8221; the first lady told the gathered guests.
Trump and Vance joined organizers with the American Red Cross at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, the base where Trump administration officials, the vice president, and the president himself fly out of on Air Force One, Air Force Two, or other presidential aircraft around the world. The base is home to 26,000 joint military and civilian personnel and their families and is made up of every service component.

<div role="button" aria-label="28 seconds I'm also particularly grateful to be"></div>
<div class="segment style-scope ytd-transcript-segment-renderer" role="button" aria-label="28 seconds I'm also particularly grateful to be">&#8220;I always look forward to returning to America&#8217;s airfield and to the incredible community that supports its mission,&#8221; Usha Vance said with a smile, as she delivered brief remarks and introduced the first lady.  &#8220;JD and I are inspired every time we fly by your care and professionalism and are deeply grateful for your service.&#8221;</div>
During Monday&#8217;s event, Trump and Vance created care packages for deployed service members and wrote cards to these deployed troops. They laughed and chatted with military spouses, and they offered a message to those present: their sacrifice does not go unnoticed.
&#8220;Today, we are surrounded by people whose strength is often quiet, but always powerful,&#8221; the first lady said in prepared remarks as the event began. &#8220;We speak regularly of the bravery of our service members—and we should. But we must also illuminate the bravery of those who walk beside them. The spouses who carry the weight of family life on top of their own dreams.&#8221;
&#8220;Your lives require a resilience that few outside the military can understand,&#8221; Trump told the military families. &#8220;Moves that take you across the country, and around the world. Holidays spent with an empty chair at the table. Milestones celebrated over a screen because the person you love is thousands of miles away.&#8221;
The first lady praised the families of service members for standing strong throughout the hardships that military families must endure.

&#8220;Through every transition, every deployment, every homecoming,&#8221; she said, &#8220;you continue to show grace, determination, and unbreakable spirit. You keep life steady for your children. You manage homes, careers, finances, and schedules … all while giving comfort to your family. You carry this extra responsibility, because you love someone who has sworn to serve.&#8221;
Trump pushed those present to also take care of themselves, arguing that their well-being is &#8220;vital — not just for your families, but for your own future.&#8221;
&#8220;Your journey matters,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Your voice matters. And your strength continues to inspire us all.&#8221;
FLOTUS and Vance were joined at the event by a number of the spouses of Trump&#8217;s cabinet secretaries: Jennifer Rauchet, spouse of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Kathryn Burgum, spouse of Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, Cheryl Hines, spouse of HHS Secretary RFK Jr., Liz Wright, spouse of Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, Lisa Collins, spouse of Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins, and Marlo Greer, spouse of the United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

As the first and second ladies chatted with guests and wrote holiday cards for deployed troops, soft Christmas jazz played, and those gathered snacked on hot cocoa and cookies.
&#8220;Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!&#8221; Trump wrote on one card shown to the press. &#8220;Thank you for your service, our nation is proud of you! Warm wishes, Melania Trump.”
Red Cross Organizers at Monday&#8217;s event said that they planned to make 700 care packages total, packages that would include Rice Krispies, hydration packs, Slim Jims, tissues, peanuts, granola bars, popcorn packets, and handwritten notes.
&#8220;Every package built here today is built with American values,&#8221; Trump noted. &#8220;Each represents liberty, love, community, and honor. Each is delivered with heart and love. The foundation of our great nation.&#8221;
Usha Vance similarly described the packages as &#8220;part of a proud and enduring tradition.&#8221;
&#8220;The Red Cross began distributing these packages during World War I and has continued that work ever since,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;Each year, more than 220,000 active duty and veteran families also receive Red Cross assistance wherever they are, whenever they need it. It&#8217;s an honor to contribute to that legacy of service today. As we enter the holiday season, may we be reminded of our shared responsibility for our communities, our neighbors, and our nation, and may we continue to lift up those who serve and sacrifice for our country.&#8221;

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, an ancient church in Jerusalem believed to be the site of both the crucifixion and tomb of Jesus Christ, and one of the holiest Christian sites in the world.
&#8220;What an amazing blessing to have visited the site of Christ&#8217;s death and resurrection,&#8221; the vice president said after his visit. &#8220;I am immensely grateful to the Greek, Armenian, and Catholic priests who care for this most sacred of places. May the Prince of Peace have mercy on us, and bless our efforts for peace.&#8221;
Vance, who is Catholic, spent about 90 minutes inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where he went to confession and attended a private mass.

The church not only holds the &#8220;Tomb of Christ,&#8221; which pilgrims venerate as the site of Jesus Christ&#8217;s burial and resurrection, but also &#8220;Golgatha&#8221; or Calvary, the site of the crucifixion, which pilgrims can climb to via a tall stairwell, the &#8220;Stone of the Anointing,&#8221; where Jesus Christ&#8217;s body is believed to have been prepared for burial, the &#8220;Prison of Christ,&#8221; where Jesus Christ is believed to have been held before he was crucified, the &#8220;Chapel of Adam,&#8221; below Golgatha, believed to be the location where the skull of Adam, documented in the Bible as the father of the human race, was buried.
Constantine the Great <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Holy-Sepulchre">originally built a church on that site</a>, which was dedicated about 336 AD, then burned by the Persians in the year 614 AD, restored by an abbot, destroyed again by an Islamic caliph around 1009, restored by a Byzantine emperor, further rebuilt by Crusaders in the 12th century, and preserved throughout the years until now. The current structure of the church is mostly<a href="https://holysepulchre.com/history"> dated to 1810.</a>

Vance and his wife visited all the main sites inside the church, according to the vice president&#8217;s print pooler, beginning with the Stone of the Anointing, where a bishop laid out a red pillow for the vice president to kneel on. Vance knelt on the pillow, made the sign of the cross, bowed his head, put his hand on the slab, and prayed. His wife watched as her husband venerated the stone, where the body of Jesus Christ is believed to have been laid out as he was prepared for burial.

When the Vances went up to Calvary, they each lit a candle. They also lit candles downstairs in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, using a flame that is reportedly transferred by candle from Jesus Christ&#8217;s tomb to that spot every day, meaning that the flame on their candles had been within the tomb.
A bishop who spoke with Vance&#8217;s press pooler, Francesca Chambers of USA Today, shared that he was lighting two white candles from the flame that he intended to send back to the White House. That bishop was the superior of the Armenian side of the church.
&#8220;We are sending these lights to the White House,&#8221; the bishop told Chambers. &#8220;May God bless America, the United States and Armenia and our friendship.&#8221;

Vance is now on his way back to the United States after his visit to Israel, where he slammed a vote in the Israeli Knesset on the annexation of the West Bank.
“The policy of the Trump administration is that the West Bank will not be annexed by Israel. That will continue to be our policy,” Vance said before he boarded Air Force Two to return home. “And if people want to take symbolic votes, they can do that. But we certainly weren’t happy about it.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s office said in a statement that &#8220;the Knesset vote on annexation was a deliberate political provocation by the opposition to sow discord during Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Israel.&#8221;
&#8220;The two bills were sponsored by opposition members of the Knesset,&#8221; Netanyahu&#8217;s office said on Thursday. &#8220;The Likud party and the religious parties (the principal coalition members) did not vote for these bills, except for one disgruntled Likud member who was recently fired from the chairmanship of a Knesset committee. Without Likud support these bills are unlikely to go anywhere.&#8221;

JD Vance Visits The Site Of Jesus Christ’s Death And Burial In Jerusalem

Vice President JD Vance responded to comments made by former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki about his wife, Usha, needing to be “saved” from him.
The VP has been in Israel all week discussing the ceasefire and hostage deal, and his wife has been with him. A reporter from Fox News asked Vance to comment on Psaki’s assertions, which made him scoff and then reply with his customary wit and candor. 
“I think it&#8217;s disgraceful,” he said, “But of course, the Second Lady can speak for herself. And I am very lucky to have a wonderful wife &#8230; I hope that my wife feels the same way about me … I&#8217;m very lucky to go on this journey with a very loving wife. We’re going to keep on serving the country together, and I&#8217;m honored to have Usha by my side on this trip in particular, but always.”

MSNBC's Jen Psaki Slammed For 'Unhinged' Attack On Second Lady Usha Vance

Marriage

Media

ATLANTA — When Second Lady Usha Vance asked Georgia school children to share with her how often they get distracted by cell phones or tablets, almost every child in the school gym eagerly raised their hand in the air.
It&#8217;s hard for everyone, she told them. And it’s one of the reasons she wants them to be reading as much as they can.
&#8220;You see in your own life, I see it in mine, where my attention is fragmented, I get distracted and pulled away all the time when I have a phone around me,&#8221; she shared in a brief interview with The Daily Wire at Cherokee Classical Charter School in Atlanta, Georgia. 
&#8220;I know from experience and I know from hearing from other people that this is a real issue,&#8221; Vance explained. She had just finished listening in on several classes at the school and handing out bookmarks to the eager children, who carefully recited their lessons, led by their teachers, in the presence of the smiling second lady. 
Vance was in Atlanta to speak with students at the charter school about her &#8220;Summer Reading Challenge,&#8221; which encourages kids to read 12 books between June and September, and to fill out a form and send in their accomplishment to the Second Lady&#8217;s office for a personalized certificate and small prize. Some lucky winners will be selected to travel to Washington, D.C.
<div id="attachment_964117" style="width: 1210px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-964117" class="wp-image-964117 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/Usha-Vance-final.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1600" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/Usha-Vance-final.jpg 1200w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/Usha-Vance-final-225x300.jpg 225w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/Usha-Vance-final-432x576.jpg 432w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/Usha-Vance-final-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/Usha-Vance-final-1152x1536.jpg 1152w" sizes=" (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />Second Lady Usha Vance tours the school rooms of Cherokee Classical Academy in Georgia.</div>
On Thursday, Vance explained her challenge to around 200 school children and read them &#8220;The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,&#8221; the classic poetic tale of the Revolutionary War hero and his historic ride through Massachusetts. She also took a few questions from the students, who asked her what it is like to be the Second Lady and what her favorite books are. Vance shared that she loved Laura Ingalls Wilder&#8217;s &#8220;Little House&#8221; series, detailing the life of Laura Ingalls and her family as they travel across the United States.
Across town, her husband was speaking at a Republican National Committee event before heading to an industrial refrigeration manufacturing facility in Peachtree City, Georgia, where he spoke about the importance of the &#8220;working families tax cuts&#8221; in the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221; JD Vance and Usha Vance had flown down to Georgia together on Thursday morning, kissed one another goodbye before the motorcade, and then sped off to their respective events.
Thursday was one of six &#8220;Summer Reading Challenge&#8221; events that Usha Vance has spoken at, and perhaps her last one of the summer, since the 2025-2026 school year is beginning for many students. She was poised and polite, gracious to the children and the school officials who welcomed her. She chuckled at the eager antics of the students in their classrooms, as they strove to best one another in answering questions while she watched.
Speaking with The Daily Wire after she toured the school itself and visited several classrooms, Usha Vance shared how she seeks to block technological distractions for children.
&#8220;For my children, and I think for all children, my goal is that we do things that try to counteract that,&#8221; Vance explained. &#8220;Whether that&#8217;s spending time outside, whether that is engaging in the kinds of activities where you just can&#8217;t be distracted, you really have to commit to build strength or skill or whatever it might be.&#8221;
&#8220;Or reading,” she added. “Reading, I think, is maybe the most important of all these because when you can read and focus on something for hundreds of pages, then you can really do anything at that point.&#8221;
Asked what her own three children are reading this summer, the second lady responded with a big smile, describing her eight-year-old as a voracious reader.
<div id="attachment_964119" style="width: 1210px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-964119" class="wp-image-964119 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/Usha-2-final.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="900" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/Usha-2-final.jpg 1200w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/Usha-2-final-300x225.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/08/Usha-2-final-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes=" (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />Second Lady Usha Vance reads to students at Cherokee Classical Academy in Georgia.</div>
&#8220;So Mira, our youngest, is not a reader yet,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;Our oldest child is a total bookworm. He&#8217;s eight, so he&#8217;s read dozens of books this summer. Right now, I think he has been reading, actually, copies of the Mahabharata, which is an Indian epic, and he also just finished re-reading all the Percy Jackson books.&#8221;
&#8220;I think he read The Hobbit recently,&#8221; she noted, referring to J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s precursor to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. &#8220;Those kinds of things are really exciting.&#8221;
&#8220;And our middle guy has been immersed in dinosaur encyclopedias,&#8221; Vance concluded with a laugh. &#8220;That&#8217;s his thing right now.&#8221; 
The young Vance son’s interest in The Hobbit likely stems from his father’s partiality for The Lord of the Rings: Vice President Vance himself<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/07/19/lord-of-the-rings-jd-vance-00169372"> is known to be a fan</a> of the &#8220;The Lord of the Rings&#8221; series and has even said that it greatly influenced his view of the world.
“I’m a big Lord of the Rings guy,&#8221; Vance said in a 2021 interview, &#8220;and I think, not realizing it at the time, but a lot of my conservative worldview was influenced by Tolkien growing up,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Big fan of C.S. Lewis — really sort of like that era of English writers. I think they were really interesting. They were grappling, in part because of World War II, with just very big problems.”
Vance&#8217;s wife speaks much less politically (she gently said she &#8220;high hopes&#8221; that people will come back to Washington, when asked by The Daily Wire whether she now feels safer in D.C. due to the White House&#8217;s enforcement efforts). But, like her husband, she also recognizes the massive impact that literature can have on an individual. In a statement on Thursday, she encouraged American children that reading will build strong foundations &#8220;that will serve them for a lifetime.&#8221;
&#8220;We want every child to know that reading opens doors,&#8221; said Usha Vance, &#8220;not only to education, but to imagination, opportunity, and achievement.&#8221;

EXCLUSIVE: In A World Of Distraction, Second Lady Usha Vance Wants Children To Slow Down

Atlanta

Vice President JD Vance arrived in Greenland on Friday, where he spoke to members of the United States military and discussed the strategic importance of the territory for America&#8217;s national security.
The vice president joined his wife, Usha, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) in Greenland for a tour of Pituffik Space Base. The American visitors were also set to attend a dogsled race and visit some of Greenland&#8217;s historical sites, but the territory&#8217;s prime minister claimed earlier this week that the visit is proof of American aggression. President Donald Trump has suggested making Greenland a part of the United States, arguing that the move would be good for both Greenlanders and Americans.
&#8220;I think a lot of Americans wonder, &#8216;Well, why does Greenland matter so much? Why does the mission of this base matter so much to the American people?'&#8221; Vance said. &#8220;And I learned a lot about that today myself. Of course, you can read about it in a book, but I saw it up close and personal. And if, God forbid &#8230; if a missile was from an enemy country or an enemy submarine into the United States, it is the people here before us who would give notice to our brave men and women farther south in the United States to let people know what was coming, and God willing, to try to shoot it down and prepare for it.&#8221;

The vice president credited President Trump for focusing on Greenland, saying that it has opened Americans&#8217; eyes to the important role the Arctic plays in global security.

Egede said earlier this week that the &#8220;only purpose&#8221; of the United States delegation to Greenland &#8220;is to show a demonstration of power to us.&#8221; Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also expressed concern about the visit, saying that it “cannot be seen in isolation from the public statements that have been made.”

Vice President JD Vance revealed on Tuesday that he will join his wife, second lady Usha Vance, in Greenland this week after the territory&#8217;s prime minister <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/greenland-pm-complains-about-usha-vances-upcoming-visit-says-american-aggression-will-increase" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> that the U.S. visit is proof of increased aggression.
Greenland Prime Minister Mute B. Egede said on Sunday that Usha traveling to the Danish territory to attend a dogsled race and visit historical sites &#8220;can in no way be characterized as a harmless visit from a politician’s wife.&#8221; Egede said he is mostly concerned about Trump National Security Advisor Mike Waltz joining the U.S. delegation to Greenland, arguing, &#8220;The only purpose is to show a demonstration of power to us.&#8221; Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also said she is concerned about the U.S. visit, commenting that it “cannot be seen in isolation from the public statements that have been made.”
In a video posted to X, the vice president said, &#8220;There was so much excitement around Usha&#8217;s visit to Greenland this Friday that I decided I didn&#8217;t want her to have all that fun by herself, so I&#8217;m going to join her.&#8221; He added that his trip to Greenland will focus on visiting members of the Space Force and looking into &#8220;what&#8217;s going on with the security there in Greenland.&#8221;
The U.S. delegation to Greenland comes as President Donald Trump floats the idea of the territory becoming part of the United States. The president argues that Greenland would &#8220;benefit tremendously&#8221; from becoming part of the United States and that the country needs Greenland &#8220;for national security.&#8221; Greenland is <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/greenlands-rich-largely-untapped-mineral-resources-2025-01-13/">rich</a> in natural resources such as rare earth minerals, oil, and natural gas.
In his video, Vance said that &#8220;a lot of other countries have threatened Greenland, have threatened to use its territories and its waterways to threaten the United States, to threaten Canada, and of course to threaten the people of Greenland.&#8221;
&#8220;Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it&#8217;s important to protecting the security of the entire world,&#8221; Vance added. &#8220;Unfortunately, leaders in both America and in Denmark, I think, ignored Greenland for far too long. That&#8217;s been bad for Greenland. It&#8217;s also been bad for the security of the entire world. We think we can take things in a different direction, so I&#8217;m going to go check it out.&#8221;
