Susan Meyers, the commander of Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was removed from her role on Thursday following a report detailing an email she wrote distancing herself from Vice President JD Vance’s comments during his visit to the Danish semi-autonomous territory.

Colonel Susan Meyers had sent an internal email to dispute JD Vance's claims that Greenland was not protected by Denmark from Russian and Chinese influence

The emailed remarks, confirmed as accurate to Military.com by the Space Force, mark a rare pushback within the ranks of the Trump administration's repeated criticism and critiques of NATO members and longtime allies.
