Denmark agrees to discuss Arctic security with the U.S., as Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland sparks renewed debate over the island's future and independence.
Denmark has agreed to discuss Arctic security with the U.S., Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen announced after his first call with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio under President Donald Trump's administration.
The 20-minute discussion covered Ukraine, European security, and the Middle East, with both sides emphasizing strong bilateral ties.
Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, citing its strategic importance for U.S. missile defense. While he has not ruled out using military or economic measures to pursue this goal, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reiterated that Greenland's future is for its people to decide.
Greenland's Prime Minister, Mute Egede, has consistently opposed the idea, advocating for independence instead. Although Arctic security was not discussed in the recent calls, both sides agreed to address it in the future.
