The Trump administration is pushing to acquire Greenland.
Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are meeting them on Wednesday.
The foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland will meet U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday, the Danish foreign minister said, amid President Donald Trump’s push to take control of the Arctic island.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and his Greenlandic counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt had requested a meeting with Rubio after Trump recently stepped up threats to take over Greenland, an autonomous territory under the Kingdom of Denmark.
Trump said on Sunday, “I’d love to make a deal with them. It’s easier. But one way or the other, we’re going to have Greenland…if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way.”
While Rubio had downplayed the threat of military force in his remarks to reporters, Mr. Trump doubled down on the possibility again on Sunday night, saying, “If we don’t take Greenland, Russia or China will take Greenland, and I am not going to let that happen.”
“I’d love to make a deal with them. It’s easier. But one way or the other, we’re going to have Greenland,” Mr. Trump said Sunday aboard Air Force One, echoing his previous statement on Friday when he said, “if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way.”
Art of the deal!
