Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said that Copenhagen and Washington had failed to reach an agreement on Greenland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said this following a meeting at the White House.<\/span><\/p>\n

He noted that the discussion was productive, but that the countries’ sides still differed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kingdom of Denmark continues to believe that the long-term security of Greenland can be ensured with the system that already exists,\u201d the minister said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, he added that Greenland has been a member of NATO since 1949 and is protected by the Alliance’s fifth article.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said discussions with the American side would continue. During the meeting, they agreed to form a working group to see if the US and Denmark could “find a common way forward.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe US can always ask to increase its presence in Greenland, so we want to hear if the US has any additional requests,\u201d the Danish Foreign Minister emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a reminder, US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed the strategic importance of Greenland<\/a> to the security of the United States. According to him, the island plays a key role in countering the growing activity of Russia and China in the Arctic.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the administration of US President Donald Trump is preparing a draft agreement on Greenland<\/a> , which it plans to propose to the island’s authorities. Washington is discussing the possibility of concluding a Free Association Agreement with Greenland and the United States.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called on US President Donald Trump to stop making statements about a possible annexation of Greenland<\/a> , stressing that talk of annexing Greenland is baseless.<\/p>\n

As is known, against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump’s statements regarding the seizure of Greenland , the Danish authorities are sending military equipment and defense forces to the island<\/a> .<\/p>\n
