What did Danish and Greenlandic officials say after their Jan. 14, 2026 White House meeting?

Question

Accepted Answer

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said "We didn't manage to change the American position. It's clear that the president has this wish of conquering Greenland" after the Jan. 14, 2026 meeting with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Greenland's foreign minister also stated there was a "fundamental disagreement" that remained unresolved. The meeting happened hours after Trump posted on Truth Social that "anything less" than US control of Greenland is "unacceptable." Within 24 hours of this failed diplomatic effort, seven European NATO countries announced troop deployments to Greenland for Operation Arctic Endurance, demonstrating that Trump's threats triggered a coordinated European military response.
