Denmark dismissed claims of Chinese military presence and significant investments in Greenland, directly refuting US threats to take over the Arctic island for security reasons. Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt met with US Vice-President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to address the ongoing dispute.

• No Chinese warships have been in Greenland for about a decade, according to Danish intelligence.
• Rasmussen stated there are no massive Chinese investments in Greenland.
• US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed China and Russia seek to control Greenland, necessitating a US takeover.
• The White House meeting failed to change the US position, with a "fundamental disagreement" persisting.
• A 2025 Chicago Council Survey showed more than nine in 10 US citizens opposed using US troops to invade Greenland.
