Trump-Zelensky meeting ahead, Fed rate outlook in focus - what’s moving markets
Investing.com -- The commander of a U.S. Space Force base in Greenland, Colonel Susan Myers, was dismissed by the U.S. military following a visit by Vice President JD Vance. The Pentagon announced the decision late on Thursday, stating that it would not tolerate actions undermining President Donald Trump's agenda.
The exact reasons for Myers' dismissal were not specified by the Pentagon. However, the announcement came after an email written by Myers was published, in which she questioned the assertions made by Vice President Vance during his visit to the base last month.
In his visit, Vance accused Denmark of failing to protect Greenland from what he termed as "very aggressive incursions from Russia, and from China and other nations." The Vice President did not provide details on the alleged aggression.
In her email, Myers expressed that the concerns raised by Vice President Vance did not reflect the situation at Pituffik Space Base. The email was disclosed by the news website military.com.
