Copenhagen: Danish and Greenlandic officials will hold high-stake talks about Greenland's future on Wednesday at the White House with US Vice President JD Vance, who has accused Denmark of neglecting its autonomous territory.
US President Donald Trump has been talking up the idea of buying or annexing the Arctic territory for years, and further stoked tensions this week by saying the United States would take it "one way or the other".
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told reporters in Copenhagen on Tuesday that he and his Greenlandic counterpart, Vivian Motzfeldt, had requested a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vance had asked to take part and host it at the White House.
After Trump made repeated statements in early 2025 about wanting to take over Greenland, Vance announced he was making an uninvited visit to the Arctic island in March.
Following an angry outcry in Denmark and Greenland, he ended up limiting his visit to the US Pituffik military base in northwestern Greenland.
