The United States is planning talks with Denmark about Greenland. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he will meet Danish officials next week. He shared this while speaking to reporters.
This comes at a time when President Donald Trump has again spoken about wanting control over Greenland. His comments have drawn attention and concern.
Greenland is not an independent country. It is a self governing territory that belongs to Denmark. Denmark has been a close ally of the United States for many years. Danish leaders have already made it clear that they do not support Trump’s idea.
The government of Greenland has also reacted strongly. It has said that the US should not interfere. Leaders there have stressed that only the people of Greenland have the right to decide what happens to their land.
For now, the meeting is expected to focus on discussions between allies. No agreement or decision has been announced yet.
