Denmark’s foreign minister said Tuesday that US Vice President JD Vance will host a meeting with him and his Greenlandic counterpart in Washington this week as tensions spiral over the Trump administration’s desire for control of Greenland.
The vast Arctic island is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark, a NATO ally of the US.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and his counterpart from Greenland, Vivian Motzfeldt, had been widely expected to meet on Wednesday with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, though the meeting hadn’t officially been confirmed.
Lokke Rasmussen told reporters after a meeting of the Danish parliament’s foreign policy committee on Tuesday that Vance had expressed a wish to take part and that he will host the meeting at the White House, with Rubio in attendance.
Neither the White House nor Vance’s office responded immediately to emails and text messages seeking comment.
