Pituffik Space Base
After visiting Vance: Boss of US military base fired in Greenland
Trump-Vice JD Vance recently was a guest at the Pituffik US military base in northern Greenland. Now the commander of the base has to go. Is that a coincidence?
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.
The confidence in their leadership skills was lost, said that.
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.
US President Donald Trump has been expressing his interest in taking control of the Greenland belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark for months. 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.
U.S. base on Greenland apparently sent email to employees
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.
Actions to Undermine the Chain of Command Or to Subvert President Trump’s Agenda Will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense.

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