In January 2026, Denmark's Foreign Minister stated that the Danish government opposes the United States' desire to "conquer" Greenland. The statement followed a high-stakes meeting in Washington, D.C. with the U.S. Vice President and Secretary of State. The Danish government's position was a direct response to what it perceived as a clear ambition from then-President Donald Trump regarding Greenland. The meeting and subsequent statement highlight ongoing diplomatic tensions between Denmark and the U.S. over the status and future of Greenland.
