Vance, Rubio Hosting Denmark, Greenland for Crunch White House Talks

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen has said he is heading to the U.S. for a Wednesday meeting at the White House with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Greenlandic Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Motzfeldt. Rasmussen spoke with reporters after a Danish foreign policy committee meeting in Copenhagen. The White House meeting comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he wants to take control of mineral-rich Greenland from Denmark, citing national security concerns in the Arctic around Russian and Chinese activity. Among options under consideration by the U.S. are trying to purchase Greenland, encouraging its independence from Denmark or taking it by force.
