Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen is set to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio this week in the first high-level talks since President Donald Trump’s re-election and his promise to “take control” of Greenland.
The meeting is scheduled to take place on the sidelines of a NATO Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Brussels, beginning Thursday. However, officials have warned that the event could be canceled due to the tense relations between Copenhagen and Washington.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen will visit Greenland from April 2 to 4 for discussions with the new government of the semi-autonomous territory, just days after a visit by U.S. Vice President JD Vance.
Greenland is an Arctic island that Denmark has controlled since 1721.
