We didn’t manage to change the American position,' the Danish foreign minister said after a meeting to discuss Trump's bid to acquire Greenland.

Leaders from Greenland and Denmark are slated to meet Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at White House, as Trump weighs acquiring Greenland for security.

Yesterday, after Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, vowed to cast his lot with Denmark over the United States, Trump said that he didn’t “know anything about” Nielsen but that such a choice would be a “big problem for him.”

Denmark’s foreign minister said on Wednesday that a “fundamental disagreement” with U.S. President Donald Trump over the future of Greenland remained unresolved after high-level talks in Washington, even as Denmark and NATO allies moved to increase their military presence in the Arctic territory amid rising tensions.

There was no major breakthrough during the meeting, and President Trump reiterated his interest in acquiring the island shortly afterwards.

U.S. officials are expected to meet with Danish and Greenlandic counterparts in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

Denmark's Joint Arctic Command in Greenland is focused on countering potential Russian activity, not defending against U.S. military threats, its head Major General Soren Andersen said on Friday, amid renewed attention on the Arctic region.

A Congressional delegation is visiting Denmark to offer support to the country and NATO allies as Trump continues his push to take Greenland.
