The meeting at the White House between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on the one hand, and the Foreign Ministers of Denmark and Greenland, on the other, has not yielded any solution for the future of the largest island, which is being sought by US President Donald Trump.
At a press conference at the Danish embassy in Washington, the foreign ministers of the two countries, Denmark's Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Greenland's Vivian Motzfeldt, claimed that they had failed to convince the US to change its position on Greenland.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said they want to cooperate with the US, but this must respect the red lines that Greenland and Denmark have set.
"We can cooperate without being dominated by the US," said Greenland's Foreign Minister.
Vivian Motzfeldt told reporters that it is possible to strengthen cooperation with the US, but that does not mean that Greenland wants to be owned by the US.
We have shown where our limits are, she added, saying it is in everyone's interest to "find the right path."
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said the meeting was constructive and focused on security.
"There is no immediate threat from China or Russia that his country cannot handle," he added.
He went on to claim that 'we still have a fundamental disagreement'.
"We came to the US after a number of 'extraordinary comments' regarding Greenland. We are eager to work with the US, our goal was to find a common understanding."
We had a "candid but also constructive discussion" with US officials. Our perspectives continue to diverge and we still have a fundamental disagreement.
Denmark believes that Greenland's long-term security lies within the current framework. Ideas that do not respect Greenland's territorial integrity are completely unacceptable.
"We will continue to talk and have agreed to form a high-level working group which will meet within a few weeks," the foreign ministers said.
