Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen called out the United States for the disrespect hours after US Vice President JD Vance delivered provocative remarks in Greenland. In a two-minute video message shared on Friday night, Rasmussen addressed Americans directly and urged the country to end hurling hostile messages towards Greenland.
“Many accusations and many allegations have been made. And of course, we are open to criticism,” Rasmussen said in his video address. “But let me be completely honest: We do not appreciate the tone in which it is being delivered,” he added. Relations between Washington and Copenhagen went downhill ever since US President Donald Trump came back to the White House and threatened to annex Greenland, a self-ruling island administered by Denmark.
Dear American friends.
We agree that status quo in the Artcic is not an option.
So let’s talk about how we can fix it – together.
