Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen is scheduled to visit the White House on Wednesday to address rising tensions between Denmark and the United States over Greenland. The situation escalated after U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his intention to bring the autonomous Arctic island under American control, calling it essential for U.S. strategic interests. Rasmussen initiated the meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, later joined by Vice President J.D. Vance, aiming to clear what he described as “misunderstandings.”
Trump recently dismissed Greenland’s wish to remain under Danish sovereignty, saying it was “their problem,” and declared that the U.S. would take Greenland “whether they like it or not.” Analysts noted that his stance hardened after a U.S. operation in Venezuela earlier this month. Both Denmark and Greenland have firmly opposed the plan, with Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen reaffirming that the island does not want to be owned, governed, or integrated by the United States.
The meeting’s format remains uncertain, though experts suggested a closed session could reduce the risk of public confrontation if discussions turn tense.
