U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed the strong relationship between the United States and Denmark during a meeting with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen in Brussels on Thursday, according to the State Department.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen in Brussels on Thursday, where they reaffirmed the strong ties between the United States and Denmark, as reported by the State Department.
This meeting came after months of tension between Washington and Copenhagen, sparked by President Donald Trump’s repeated comments about Greenland – a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark – potentially becoming part of the U.S.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance recently visited a U.S. military base in northern Greenland and criticised Denmark for not adequately securing the Arctic island. He suggested that the U.S. could provide better protection for the strategically important territory.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who has emphasised that it is for the people of Greenland to decide their future, disagreed with Vance’s assessment of Denmark, calling it unfair.
A short State Department statement following the Rubio-Rasmussen meeting did not address the issue of Greenland, but mentioned that they discussed shared priorities, including increasing NATO defence spending, burden-sharing, and addressing threats to the Alliance posed by Russia and China.
Prime Minister Frederiksen arrived in Nuuk on Wednesday for a three-day visit and reiterated her support for Greenland against Trump’s continued statements about the U.S. controlling the island.
