Denmark Says Talks Leave 'Fundamental Disagreement' Over Greenland

The sides agreed to a high-level working group to explore U.S. security concerns without crossing Denmark’s stated red lines.

Overview

  • President Trump reiterated that the United States must take control of Greenland, urged NATO to help, and said anything less is unacceptable.
  • Danish and Greenlandic leaders rejected any transfer of sovereignty, with Greenland’s prime minister declaring the island would choose Denmark.
  • Denmark announced an expanded military presence in and around Greenland with NATO partners, including Swedish officers and new exercises, as other allies prepare contributions.
  • The White House has not ruled out the use of force, according to multiple reports, while European officials warned a seizure would threaten the NATO alliance.
  • U.S. lawmakers introduced bipartisan measures to bar federal funds from being used to annex or occupy a NATO ally’s territory without consent.
