Washington: Denmark's top diplomat said Wednesday he failed to change the mind of US President Donald Trump's administration on his threats to seize Greenland after flying to the White House for talks.
The foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland, an autonomous territory of Copenhagen, met with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in what they hoped would clear up "misunderstandings" after Trump's bellicose language toward the NATO ally.
"We didn't manage to change the American position. It's clear that the president has this wish of conquering over Greenland," Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told reporters after the meeting.
"And we made it very, very clear that this is not in the interest of the kingdom."
The minister said a US takeover of Greenland, where Washington has long had a military base, was "absolutely not necessary."
