Denmark warns of ‘fundamental disagreement’ after White House talks on Greenland (BBC)

Denmark’s foreign minister has said there is a “fundamental disagreement” with the US over Greenland after talks at the White House. Lars Lokke Rasmussen said the meeting with Vice-President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday had been “frank but constructive”. But he added that US President Trump was insisting on “conquering” Greenland which was “totally unacceptable”. “We made it very, very clear that this is not in the interest of [Denmark],” he said. Trump afterwards reiterated his interest in acquiring the resource-rich island, a position that has rattled allies across Europe and stoked tensions with Nato.
