Denmark and Greenland remain at odds with the United States over Greenland’s future following high-level talks in Washington, attended by U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Speaking afterwards, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said there remains a “fundamental disagreement” with the U.S., stressing that any proposal undermining Denmark’s territorial integrity or Greenlandic self-determination is “totally unacceptable”. He confirmed a high-level working group would explore whether U.S. security concerns can be addressed within those limits.
Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt said Greenland had “shown where our limits are,” while remaining open to dialogue.
The talks follow renewed pressure from President Donald Trump, who has argued Greenland is vital to U.S. national and Arctic security. Danish and Greenlandic officials rejected claims of Russian or Chinese military activity near the island, while the European Parliament condemned U.S. rhetoric as inconsistent with international law.
