A bipartisan group of Senators is in Denmark speaking to officials there as President Trump announces new tariffs and continues to talk about taking over Greenland.

We didn’t manage to change the American position,' the Danish foreign minister said after a meeting to discuss Trump's bid to acquire Greenland.

Denmark’s foreign minister said on Wednesday that a “fundamental disagreement” with U.S. President Donald Trump over the future of Greenland remained unresolved after high-level talks in Washington, even as Denmark and NATO allies moved to increase their military presence in the Arctic territory amid rising tensions.

Denmark's Joint Arctic Command in Greenland is focused on countering potential Russian activity, not defending against U.S. military threats, its head Major General Soren Andersen said on Friday, amid renewed attention on the Arctic region.

Yesterday, after Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, vowed to cast his lot with Denmark over the United States, Trump said that he didn’t “know anything about” Nielsen but that such a choice would be a “big problem for him.”

Stephen Miller, Donald Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff, argued for U.S. control over Greenland, stating "Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland.",

U.S. officials are expected to meet with Danish and Greenlandic counterparts in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.
