Denmark said it did not manage to dissuade President Donald Trump from seeking to conquer Greenland during high-level talks at the White House on Wednesday.
"It's clear the president has this wish of conquering Greenland," Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said at a news conference after a closed-door meeting attended by Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
"We had what I will describe as a frank but also constructive discussion," he added, standing alongside Greenland’s minister of foreign affairs, Vivian Motzfeldt. "The president has made his view clear, and we have a different position.”
Trump has vowed to take control of Greenland “one way or the other,” citing concerns it could be vulnerable to Russia or China. The White House has refused to rule out military action to seize the island from Denmark, alarming allies and rattling the NATO alliance.
Rasmussen said a high-level working group would be formed and meet within weeks "to explore if we can find a common way forward" on security while respecting Denmark's red lines, referring to demands for U.S. ownership of the vast, semi-autonomous territory as “totally unacceptable.”
“Whether that is doable, I don't know, but I hope it could take down the temperature,” he added.
Motzfeldt said strengthening cooperation “doesn’t mean we want to be owned by the United States,” adding: “We have shown where our limits are.”

I’ll take the ‘or not’ option. Denying entry is not the same as a deportation....even if a tail is redefined as a leg.
Trump is doing this to embarrass them. Growing up we would pants someone.
Denmark, you are irrelevant in the Western hemisphere.
Be grateful that the USA is not taking Greenland by force.
Aside… Danish women are hot hot hot..yummy
Should have bought Greenland when we bought the Virgin Islands from Denmark.
Has anyone asked Greenlanders, not Danes?
From what I've read, they are well aware of the "promises" of riches, but promises don't always pan out, especially lately. I personally think it would be great if Greenland was made a colony like Puerto Rico, but the right approach probably would be to just take their offer, and go ahead and build our bases there, and earn some actual trust, first.
Even if you are going to just take them over, later, it'd be easier if they agreed to let you build your bases there first, verses going to war on day 1, while they're still your ally.
I don’t know that one. Is Trump the bird?

"Troop Deployments: Soldiers from Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the UK have arrived in Nuuk, Greenland's capital, as part of an exercise called "Operation Arctic Endurance".
The 1951 treaty lets the United States do anything we want there.
Something else is going on.
What does Denmark have to offer Greenland?
What does the US have to offer Greenland?
Unfortunately, the EU already sent in troops, apparently hoping to call any bluff, if that's all it is.
I doubt you’ll like these sources, but this theory has been, and remains, the main alternate thinking about why Greenland is suddenly a target. Note the dates of the articles.

I have no problem with any sources. The only problem I have is with people who have problems with sources. They look good to me.
Thanks friend, same here. If one seeks to learn the complete truth, you must evaluate all available data.
Been there, have to agree about Danish women.
But I’m a woman too and spent more time looking at extremely handsome Norwegian men. Especially the one who joined me starkers in a women’s sauna in a great hotel in Oslo.
And then there are the Swedes. Not very impressive, but good looking.
