Danish Foreign Affairs Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen on Saturday said that talks with U.S. officials and Greenland have progressed but there’s no “solution yet” regarding the Trump administration’s push to take over the Arctic island.

“We are not out of the crisis, and we do not have a solution yet,” Rasmussen said Saturday, according to CTV News.

Denmark has reiterated its “red line” in regard to infringement on Greenland’s sovereignty as islanders rebuke an increased U.S. presence on their land. Seventy-six percent of Greenlanders oppose becoming a part of the U.S., according to a poll published by The Copenhagen Post in Denmark.

Until last month, Trump had set his sights on acquiring the island either peacefully through a potential purchase or militarily. But, since meeting with NATO chief Mark Rutte in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum last month, Trump has turned the temperature down.

While the president has ruled out military intervention, he has still said the U.S. needs the Arctic land mass for the purposes of national security.

Also last month, Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with officials from Greenland and Denmark at the White House. Weeks later, circumstances are still murky, with the exception of the breakthrough following Trump’s meeting with Rutte.

“We are not where we want to be yet,” Greenlandic Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Motzfeldt said Saturday, according to Reuters.

“There is going to be a long track, so where we’re going to land at the end, it’s too early to say,” she added.
