Greenland Disagreement Persists After US Talks; Working Group Formed

  • Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen met with US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington.
  • A "fundamental disagreement" over Greenland's future remains, with Trump advocating for a US takeover of the Danish Arctic territory.
  • Both sides agreed to establish a high-level working group to explore common ground and address US security concerns while respecting Denmark's sovereignty.
  • A Quinnipiac University poll indicates strong public opposition in the US to taking Greenland by military force, with mixed views on purchasing it.
  • US Special Envoy Jeff Landry plans to engage directly with Greenlanders, despite Trump's stance, and will attend a dogsled race in March.

Why It Matters: Despite ongoing US demands for Greenland, Denmark and Greenland maintain sovereignty while agreeing to dialogue.
