Denmark and the US are stuck in a 'fundamental disagreement' over Greenland after leaders from both countries met for talks in Washington earlier today.
Danish foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said the meeting with vice president JD Vance and secretary of state Marco Rubio was 'frank but also constructive' but admitted work was needed to 'find a common way forward'.
'The discussions focused on how to ensure the long-term security in Greenland, and here our perspectives continue to differ,' Mr Rasmussen told reporters after joining Greenland's foreign minister, Vivian Motzfeldt, for the talks.
'I must say the president has made his view clear and we have a different position,' he added.
Donald Trump is trying to make the case to seize control of the island because of its location, its mineral resources and rising Russian and Chinese military activity in the region - and has not ruled out the use of force.
His warnings have ignited worry among European countries, especially following the US attack on Venezuela last week.
Danish defense minister Troels Lund Poulsen announced an increase in Denmark's 'military presence and exercise activity' on Greenland on Tuesday, while soldiers from from Sweden are also en route.
Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson wrote on X on Wednesday that, 'Some officers from the Swedish Armed Forces are arriving in Greenland today,' as part of a group from several allied countries.
And Germany is also reportedly planning to send troops to the island as part of a 'reconnaissance team' seeking to 'deter potential external aggressors and protect the alliance's territory', German news outlet Bild reported.
The team will comprise of 13 members of the Bundeswehr - Germany's Armed Forces - and they will only stay in the country for two days, according to the BBC.

How big does a piece of land have to be before it’s not considered an island?
And in a surprise move, President Trump sends the Army into Denmark for Marco Rubio to add to his job list.
It’s interesting because US took suzerainty over Greenland back when Denmark and Germany were working together in the 1940’s.
Germany never learns.
Australia.
This is stupid. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows we’re not going to attack Greenland. We are, at present, the ONLY nation who has a Military Base there. And Trump wants it to stay that way. But all we have is a “lease”. That’s the term that gives Trump pause.....And he’s right.
Australia sized, which is 3.5x the size of Greenland.
13 members of the Bundeswher. They’re sending their entire army?!
but Greenland is part of North America so who’s invading who ?
Did zay brrring zee Reisling or za schnaaps ??
Proving that NATO can get on just fine without the USA.
> The team will comprise of 13 members of the Bundeswehr - Germany’s Armed Forces - and they will only stay in the country for two days… <
Deutschland über alles!
(But only for two days.)
Are the Germans gonna kick the Chinese “miners” out of Greenland? Trump is right. China is already there. Euros are idiots and commies.
Don’t know why but the theme music from Star Wars (da.. da.. da.. ta... da.. da.. ta.. da.. da..) started playing through my head reading the headline.
Greenland needs to be RedWhiteAndBlueLand pronto. Enough talk. Now it's time for action.
OMG! The Krauts are in Greenland for 2 days! This means war! What an effin farce.
Size of Australia.
So…Germany is taking the Island. All the more reason to beat the Germans to the prize
If you’re going to take Greenland, take it, don’t talk.
They’ll defend Greenland from the US but not Ukraine from Russia?
