US-Denmark Tensions: Trump Says 'Something Will Work Out' | Arctic | Nato | Europe

President Donald Trump reiterated on Wednesday (January 14) that the U.S. needs Greenland and that Denmark cannot be relied upon to protect the island, even as he said that "something will work out" with respect to the future governance of the Danish overseas territory. The remarks, which came after a high-stakes meeting between U.S., Danish and Greenlandic officials, indicates that there are still fundamental differences between how Washington, Copenhagen and Nuuk see the political future of the island. "Greenland is very important for the national security, including of Denmark," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "And the problem is there's not a thing that Denmark can do about it if Russia or China wants to occupy Greenland, but there's everything we can do. You found that out last week with Venezuela," he added. Earlier in the day, the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance at the White House. Following that meeting, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and his Greenlandic counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt said the U.S. and Denmark would form a working group to discuss a broad array of concerns regarding the island that could meet in the coming weeks. #Greenland #Trump #Denmark #US #Arctic #Europe #Nato --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
