High-level talks in Washington have concluded without bridging the divide between the United States and Denmark over the future of Greenland, with Danish officials stating a “fundamental disagreement” persists after President Donald Trump reaffirmed his intent to acquire the Arctic territory.
Following a meeting with US Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen described the conversation as “frank”and “constructive,” but admitted the core dispute remains unresolved.
“We didn’t manage to change the US position,” Rasmussen told reporters. “It’s clear that the president has this wish of conquering Greenland, and we made it very, very clear that this is not in the interest of the Kingdom.”
