Vance to meet Danish and Greenlandic officials in Washington as locals say Greenland is not for sale

Vance to meet Danish and Greenlandic officials in Washington as locals say Greenland is not for sale
Along the narrow, snow-covered main street in Greenland's capital, international journalists and camera crews stop passersby every few meters (feet), asking them for their thoughts on a crisis which Denmark's Prime Minister has warned could potentially trigger the end of NATO.
Greenland is at the centre of a geopolitical storm as U.S. President Donald Trump is insisting, he wants to own the island, and the residents of its capital, Nuuk, say it is not for sale. Mr. Trump said he wants to control Greenland at any cost, and the White House has not ruled out taking the island by force.
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance will meet Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and his Greenlandic counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt in Washington on Wednesday (January 14, 2026) to discuss the Arctic island, which is a semiautonomous territory of the United States' NATO ally Denmark.
Tuuta Mikaelsen, a 22-year-old student, told The Associated Press in Nuuk that she hoped American officials would get the message to “back off.”
Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen told a news conference in the Danish capital Copenhagen on Tuesday (January 13) that, “if we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We chose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU.”
Greenland is strategically important because, as climate change causes the ice to melt, it opens up the possibility of shorter trade routes to Asia. That also could make it easier to extract and transport untapped deposits of critical minerals, which are needed for computers and phones.
Mr. Trump also said he wants the island to expand America's security and has cited what he says is the threat from Russian and Chinese ships as a reason to control it.
But both experts and Greenlanders question that claim.
“The only Chinese I see is when I go to the fast-food market,” Lars Vintner, a heating engineer, told AP. He said he frequently goes sailing and hunting and has never seen Russian or Chinese ships.
His friend, Hans Norgaard, agreed, adding, “What has come out of the mouth of Donald Trump about all these ships is just fantasy.”
Denmark has said the U.S. — which already has a military presence — can boost its bases in Greenland. For that reason, “security is just a cover,” Mr. Vintner said, suggesting Mr. Trump actually wants to own the island to make money from its untapped natural resources.
Mr. Norgaard told AP he filed a police complaint in Nuuk against Mr. Trump's “aggressive” behaviour because, he said, American officials are threatening the people of Greenland and NATO. He suggested Mr. Trump was using the ships as a pretext to further American expansion.
“Donald Trump would like to have Greenland, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin would like Ukraine, and (Chinese President) Xi Jinping would like to have Taiwan,” Mr. Norgaard said.
Ms. Mikaelsen, the student, said Greenlanders benefit from being part of Denmark, which provides free health care, education and payments during study.
“I don't want the U.S. to take that away from us,” she said.
Ahead of Wednesday's (January 14) meeting, Naaja Nathanielsen, Greenland's minister for business and mineral resources, said it's “unfathomable” that the United States is discussing taking over a NATO ally and urged the Trump administration to listen to voices from the Arctic island's people.
