Denmark and the US set up a "high-level working group" to guide the Greenland affair
The meeting between the delegations of the United States, Denmark and Greenland ended this afternoon at the White House without agreement.
The meeting for the future of Greenland was crucial today in the United States. Representatives from Denmark, Greenland and the US met in Washington to discuss Donald Trump's desire to acquire the Arctic island.
After less than an hour of meeting,Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Vivian Motzfeldt , the Foreign Affairs Officers of the Danish and Greenland governments, respectively, have appeared before the media to report on what has been said. Rasmussen has first taken the floor and has said that there has been no agreement and that both sides have agreed to set up a 'high-level committee' to resolve their 'differences' with the US.
The Danish leader explained that the first meeting of the working group will take place "in the coming weeks." "He will address US security concerns, respecting the red lines set by Denmark," he said.
The meeting took place at the White House Building Eisenhower and, on behalf of the US Government, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and on behalf of national security, the Americans have argued that Trump has reasons to take over Greenland.
Rasmussen has pointed out that although the positions of the two parties are 'far away', there has been a 'sincere and constructive dialogue' . He has specified that the security of Greenland must be guaranteed 'within the current legislation' and has made the 'right to self-determination' of that country and respect for 'the territoriality of Denmark' a prerequisite.
For his part, Greenland's Foreign Minister has stressed that the meeting has served to "talk" and address "differences." "It is in everyone's interest to find the right balance," he said.
Before the meeting, Trump has declared on the Truth Social platform that with Greenland "in the hands" of the US, NATO will be much more effective. "Anything other than that is unacceptable."
On the other hand, before the meeting began, the White House has also posted on social media an image in which it asks Greenland — represented in two dogs — to choose : to live with the US or Russia and China.
