"JD Vance will host a meeting with the foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark amid rising tensions over Donald Trump's push to gain control of the Arctic island. Denmark's top diplomat, Lars Lkke Rasmussen, said he and his Greenlandic counterpart, Vivian Motzfeldt, had requested the meeting with the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and the vice-president had asked to take part and would host it at the White House on Wednesday."
"Our reason for seeking the meeting we have now been given was to move this whole discussion into a meeting room where we can look each other in the eye and talk about these things, Rasmussen told reporters in Copenhagen on Tuesday. Trump first floated the idea of a US takeover of Greenland, a largely self-governing part of Denmark, in 2019, during his first term."
