Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said he had “constructive” talks with the US about Greenland. He feels “slightly more optimistic today than a week ago” that they can find a solution. The talks in Washington followed a week filled with tension after US President Donald Trump said he wanted to take control of Greenland. Rasmussen confirmed his meeting with US State Secretary Marco Rubio, saying the process agreed two weeks ago is now back on track. "After that, there was a major detour, things were escalating, but now we are back on track," Rasmussen said. Rubio told the US Congress the talks are kept low-profile to avoid "a media circus." Rasmussen did not give details about the talks but said they focused on meeting US security interests without breaching Denmark’s rules on territory and sovereignty. Meanwhile, EU foreign ministers gathered in Brussels for a busy meeting covering Greenland, Ukraine, the Middle East, and more. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the meeting agenda is “very packed” as the international rules-based order remains under pressure. She warned that Russia’s delegation in UAE talks is only military personnel with “no mandate to agree on anything,” questioning Russia's commitment to peace. Kallas highlighted the harsh winter conditions in Ukraine, warning of a coming humanitarian catastrophe. She called for more pressure on Russia to make concessions, noting Ukraine has already made many. On the Middle East, ministers planned to discuss listing Iran's Revolutionary Guard on the EU's terrorism list, comparing them to Al Qaeda and Hamas. Separately, the US embassy in Copenhagen caused anger by removing Danish flags honoring fallen soldiers without prior notice, but later restored them amid public outcry. Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen is expected to provide more details about the talks as the EU ministers continue their discussions.
