Danish Foreign Affairs Minister Lars L\u00f8kke Rasmussen on Saturday said that talks with U.S. officials and Greenland have progressed but there\u2019s no \u201csolution yet\u201d regarding the Trump administration\u2019s push to take over the Arctic island.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not out of the crisis, and we do not have a solution yet,\u201d Rasmussen said Saturday, according to CTV News<\/a>.<\/p>\n Denmark has reiterated its \u201cred line\u201d in regard to infringement on Greenland\u2019s 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<\/a> published by The Copenhagen Post<\/a> in Denmark.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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<\/a>, with the exception of the breakthrough following Trump\u2019s meeting with Rutte. <\/p>\n \u201cWe are not where we want to be yet,\u201d Greenlandic Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Motzfeldt said Saturday, according to Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is going to be a long track, so where we\u2019re going to land at the end, it\u2019s too early to say,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
