Danish official says there's a 'fundamental disagreement' with Trump over Greenland

A top Danish official says a “fundamental disagreement” over Greenland remains with President Donald Trump after talks in Washington with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Denmark's foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen says it's “clear that the president has this wish of conquering over Greenland.” Trump, who wasn't at the meeting, said later he still believes the U.S. needs Greenland for its national security but he thinks "something will work out.” The two sides agreed to create a working group to talk about the issues. A bipartisan group of senators say they're worried the push to acquire the Danish territory could hurt NATO.
