Meetings with nerves on

It is a significant news that the meeting in Washington now also includes Vice President J.D. Vance, says DR's political correspondent, Christine Cordsen.

- It's a setup with much higher status, if it were just with the foreign minister, she says.

- I think Løkke is going to Washington with nerves quite a bit outside his shirt in relation to what this meeting could lead to, sounds it from Christine Cordsen.

- And I think everyone is very tense about how it goes, and nervous about what could happen.

US Vice President J.D. Vance criticized Denmark last week for not doing enough in the Arctic. "Just because you've done something smart for 25 years ago, it doesn't mean you can't do something stupid now," he said with reference to Denmark's previous international missions with the US.

Vance has criticized Denmark

----------------------------

J.D. Vance has criticized Denmark several times for not doing enough for the security in and around Greenland.

- Have the Danes done a good enough job to secure and ensure that Greenland continues to function as an anchor for global security?

- The answer is clearly no, said Vance last week.

- Just because you've done something smart for 25 years ago, it doesn't mean you can't do something stupid now, said the vice president.

It is not just the meeting with Vance and co. that is awaited with anticipation from the Danish side.

In the next week, another interesting meeting is expected to take place. In Brussels, Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen, along with the Greenlandic Minister for Foreign Affairs, Vivian Motzfeldt, will meet with NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte.

Mark Rutte has, according to observers, been notably silent throughout the drama between Denmark, Greenland, and the US.

Previously, Rutte said in diplomatic terms that "we will follow up on our discussions about the Arctic."

- We will ensure that we, as an alliance, do things together and through our alliance partners to ensure the continued security of the Arctic, which we all agree should be a priority, sounded it among other things from Mark Rutte. Read more here:
