Denmark hails 'very constructive' meeting with US over GreenlandBRUSSELS, Belgium, Jan 29, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Denmark's foreign minister said Thursday he was "more optimistic" after technical talks kicked off with the United States over Greenland. "We have had the very first meeting at senior official level in Washington yesterday regarding the Greenlandic issue," Lars Lokke Rasmussen told journalists at an EU meeting in Brussels. Trump's threats over Greenland plunged the transtatlantic alliance into its deepest crisis in years. But few concrete details appear to have been agreed -- with authorities in Denmark and Greenland refusing to discuss handing over any sovereignty. As part of the compromise with Washington NATO is expected to bolster its activities in the Arctic, while Denmark and Greenland could renegotiate a 1951 treaty on US troop deployments.
