Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen reported a “fundamental disagreement” with the United States over Greenland after talks at the White House, with US President Trump insisting on "conquering" the island, which Rasmussen deemed "totally unacceptable."

• The White House meeting on Wednesday between the US, Denmark, and Greenland failed to achieve a major breakthrough, although a high-level working group will be established to discuss the territory's future.
• Trump reiterated his interest in acquiring the resource-rich island, stating, "We need Greenland for national security" and expressing doubts about Denmark's ability to defend it.
• In response, Sweden, Germany, and the UK pledged military support or reconnaissance teams to Greenland at Denmark's request, while France plans to open a consulate and send military elements.
