Denmark's prime minister pledged to support Greenland against U.S. President Donald Trump's expressions of interest in acquiring the Danish semi-autonomous territory as she landed in Nuuk on Wednesday for talks with its incoming government.

Trump has dreams of Greenland. But the semiautonomous territory of Denmark wants no part of it.

NUUK, Greenland (Reuters) - The United States will not take over Greenland, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said after arriving on Wednesday for a three-day visit to the semi-autonomous Danish island.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said Denmark does not appreciate the "tone" that the U.S. has been using regarding Greenland.

Denmark is open to discussions with the U.S. on how to "fix" the status quo in Greenland, the country's foreign minister said, after Vice President JD Vance's visit.

"We are open to criticism. But... we do not appreciate the tone in which it's being delivered," said Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will reportedly meet with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen on the sidelines of a NATO gathering in Brussels, as U.S. President Donald Trump makes clear that he wants to take Greenland.

Denmark's foreign minister posted a video scolding the Trump administration hours after Vice President JD Vance's visit to Greenland.
