"Rasmussen and Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt met with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House on Wednesday. President Donald Trump has intensified his demands that Denmark give Greenland to the U.S. After the meeting, Rasmussen said Trump's attempt to acquire Greenland, an autonomous territory that belongs to Denmark, remains totally unacceptable. Leaders of both Denmark and Greenland said the territory is not for sale."
"I'm doing the math here, 56,000, Baier said. They get $500,000 a person? I mean, you don't think that they're gonna vote to break away? No, not at all, Rasmussen replied. Because I think there's no way that the U.S. will pay for a Scandinavian welfare system and Greenland, honestly speaking. You haven't introduced a Scandinavian welfare system in your own country."
Denmark and Greenland officials met U.S. leaders in Washington amid intensified U.S. demands for Greenland. Denmark labeled any U.S. attempt to acquire Greenland unacceptable and both Denmark and Greenland stated the territory is not for sale. Discussion included hypothetical offers equating to roughly $500,000 per Greenland resident, which Danish officials rejected as impractical given Greenland’s welfare system. The Danish foreign minister said a U.S. invasion would risk destroying NATO and emphasized continued investment and cooperation under the 1951 defense framework and NATO, advocating combined allied approaches rather than unilateral methods.
