00:00Greenland is drawing a very clear line this morning, and it's not with Washington.

00:07Standing beside Denmark's Prime Minister Tuesday, Greenland's leader said flatly,

00:12if forced to pick, his country chooses Denmark over the United States.

00:17The message comes as the Trump administration ramps up pressure over the Arctic Territory's future.

00:22The statement lands just hours before a high-stakes White House meeting today.

00:26Greenland and Denmark's foreign ministers are set to sit down with Vice President J.D. Vance

00:31and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

00:34Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, strategically located, resource-rich,

00:39and suddenly at the center of a geopolitical fight.

00:42It's about three times the size of Texas, with a population of roughly 57,000 residents.

00:48President Trump has repeatedly said the United States needs Greenland for national security

00:53to keep it away from China and Russia.

00:55Trump has refused to rule out taking the island by force.

00:59Rubio insists the president wants to buy it, not invade it.

01:02Greenland's answer remains unchanged, not for sale, not interested, not American.

01:08Denmark's Prime Minister says the pressure from its closest ally has been unacceptable

01:13and insists the two countries will enter the White House together and leave together.
