White House spokesperson Levitt said today: "The United States and Denmark have reached an agreement to establish a working group to conduct technical discussions on the acquisition of Greenland."
Levitt's statement was soon refuted. On the 15th, Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen stated that Denmark had never agreed to establish the so-called working group aimed at discussing "how the United States would acquire Greenland."
On the 15th, Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen directly refuted the White House statement through an interview with Danish TV2, insisting that Denmark had never agreed to establish a working group aimed at discussing "how the United States would acquire Greenland." He emphasized particularly that sovereignty issues were an "uncrossable red line" for Denmark, and any negotiations must be conducted under the premise of respecting the sovereignty of Denmark and Greenland. He stated that the U.S. statement foreshadowed that future negotiations would be "very, very difficult."
Rasmussen's statement is completely different from what the United States said.
