The ongoing diplomatic tensions between Denmark and the United States over Greenland have seen some progress, but remain unresolved. According to Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, the country is in a 'much better position now, compared to a few weeks ago,' despite the crisis not being fully resolved (Dawn, February 07, 2026). The situation arose from US President Donald Trump's persistent interest in acquiring Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, for strategic security reasons. While Trump has backed away from threats to seize the island, a 'framework' deal with NATO chief Mark Rutte has been established to ensure greater US influence (Channel News Asia, February 08, 2026). A US-Denmark-Greenland working group is actively discussing Arctic security, although specific details remain undisclosed (Straits Times, February 08, 2026).
