The U.S. military removed the commander of a U.S. military base in Greenland on Thursday, a Space Force spokesperson confirmed, two weeks after Vice President JD Vance visited the installation amid President Trump's push to take over the Danish-controlled island.

Hours earlier, Military.com reported the now-ousted commander of Pituffik Space Base, Col. Susannah Meyers, distanced herself from Vance's remarks at the base in an email to personnel.
