Iran, and Denmark and Greenland. President Trump on Wednesday morning declared that total U.S. control of Greenland is the only option. A

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that anything less than U.S. control of Greenland is "unacceptable," hours before Danish and Greenlandic officials visited the White House.

A Danish official said the “frank” talks on Greenland that took place at the White House did not change any minds, and that the nations “agree to disagree.”This comes after Danish and Greenlandic officials met with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday morning in the White House.

President Donald Trump warned NATO that the U.S. needs Greenland for national security, saying that Russia or China would take it otherwise.

Trump's comments come after Greenland’s Prime Minister said they would "choose Denmark" over the United States.

Visiting officials appeared unnerved by the vice president’s planned involvement after they had sought a meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
