The foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland will make their case against Donald Trump’s threats over the Arctic island when they meet Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday, according to an EU diplomat familiar with the plans.
While the talks have been proposed for some days, there was no confirmation of the details.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt will hold the discussions at the White House.
The talks come after Trump ramped up his rhetoric on Greenland in a series of saber-rattling statements in recent days following his administration’s bombing raid on the Venezuelan capital and capture of leader Nicolás Maduro.
