US EditionRepublican-Backed Bill Takes Stand Against Donald Trump's Greenland Threats
Danish and Greenlandic ministers met U.S. officials after repeated U.S. annexation threats, causing protests and diplomatic tensions affecting transatlantic relations.
- On January 14, 2026, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt met with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House for a crisis meeting.

- As they left, the ministers spoke to the press outside the Danish embassy, their faces grave, and Rasmussen said, `We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement` while noting Trump’s wish to conquer Greenland.
- Taken together, U.S. assertions have unsettled allied strategic ties as the dispute raises potential implications for NATO and prompts concerns for Canada.
- The talks did not produce a clear resolution, with officials noting no conclusion, and Greenland now sits at the center of the world amid the impasse.
