Pituffik Space Base: After visiting Vance: Boss of US base fired in Greenland

Two weeks after visiting US Vice President JD Vance on the Greenland U.S. military base Pituffik, the base of the base is rid of her job. Colonel Susannah Meyers had been removed from her command on the Pituffik Space Base because the space leadership command (Space Operations Command) said that trust in her leadership skills was lost.

Commanders expect them to comply with the highest behavioral standards, especially with a view to the non -party exercise of their duties. The command was now taken over by Colonel Shawn Lee.

For months, US President Donald Trump has been interested in taking control of the Greenland belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark. In order to underline these ambitions, his Vice Vance had traveled to the Pituffik base in the secluded north of the largest island on earth at the end of March. There he had expressed sharp criticism of the NATO allied Denmark in front of the stationed US soldiers.

The Greenland dispute should also be the background of the dismissal of Meyers. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell wrote on the online platform that the U.S. Department of Defense was not tolerated by the U.S. Ministry of Defense by President Trump’s Ministry of Defense.

He linked to a report by the Military.com website, in which it was said that Meyers had distanced himself in an email to the staff of the base of Vances Criticism of Denmark and his supervision of Greenland. With this she apparently tried to create unity between the US soldiers and the Canadians working there, Danes and Greenlanders, the portal reported.
