Denmark’s foreign minister on Thursday welcomed “very constructive” high-level talks over Greenland’s future, saying the conversation about the island was “back on track.”
The talks between the U.S., Greenland, and Denmark in Washington on Wednesday were designed to resolve the diplomatic crisis triggered by President Donald Trump’s repeated threats against the vast and sparsely populated Arctic island.
Speaking to reporters in Brussels ahead of a meeting of European Union foreign ministers, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said the meeting “went well.”
“Very constructive atmosphere and tone and new meetings are planned,” Rasmussen said.
“It’s not that things are solved but it is good because now we are back to what we agreed in Washington exactly two weeks and a day ago. After that, there was a major detour. Things were escalating but now we are back on track,” Rasmussen said.
