U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has arrived in Denmark for meetings with the country’s leaders that are likely to address the construction of a disputed gas pipeline which Washington opposes.
Pompeo was due to meet Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod on Wednesday.
He also is set to participate in a meeting with political leaders from Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, which are semi-autonomous Danish territories.
One topic of the talks was likely to be the construction of the disputed Nord Stream 2 pipeline under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, which the United States opposes.
