Denmark and Greenland to face Vance in high-stakes White House meeting

Denmark and Greenland seek to ease tensions with the U.S. after President Trump's threats to acquire Greenland, emphasizing dialogue among NATO allies amid strategic Arctic concerns.

  • On Wednesday, U.S. Vice President JD Vance will host a White House meeting with Denmark's and Greenland's foreign ministers at 10:30 local time.
  • After weeks of escalation, Denmark and Greenland sought the talks to de-escalate following U.S. threats, with Lars Løkke Rasmussen saying the aim was to `move this whole discussion...into a meeting room where we can look each other in the eye and talk about these things`.
  • Jens-Frederik Nielsen publicly rejected U.S. ownership, saying, `One thing must be clear to everyone: Greenland does not want to be owned by the United States.` Officials say residents are losing sleep amid the uncertainty.
  • European capitals are preparing security responses, including NATO planning, as France will open a consulate in Greenland on Feb. 6 and Denmark signals increased military presence, while U.S. Congress moves to block occupation funding.
  • Longer-Term talks may include options like a compact of free association as U.S. officials consider alternatives amid a $700 billion cost estimate and Denmark's risk of losing 98% of its realm.
