Washington, January 14 (Xinhua) — The United States, Denmark, and Greenland have agreed to establish a "high-level working group" to explore possible areas of compromise due to ongoing "fundamental differences" over Greenland's future, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen announced here on Wednesday.
He made the announcement immediately after a meeting with US Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House. Greenlandic Foreign Minister Viviane Motzfeldt was also present at the talks.
Speaking at a press conference, L.L. Rasmussen called the meeting a "frank and constructive" discussion "dedicated to ensuring Greenland's long-term security." However, he noted that the Danish and Greenlandic views still diverge from the American perspective.
"I must say that the President [of the United States Donald Trump] has made his views clear, but we have a different position," said L.L. Rasmussen, arguing that Denmark believes Greenland's long-term security "can be ensured under the existing system."
The Danish Foreign Minister warned that ideas that do not respect the kingdom's territorial integrity and the right of the Greenlandic people to self-determination are completely unacceptable.
D. Trump said Wednesday morning that anything short of Greenland joining the United States is "unacceptable," citing the need to ensure U.S. national security and implement the Golden Dome project. -0-
