Pompeo Confident a Solution Will Be Found Regarding Greenland

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated today that he is confident a solution satisfactory to “all” can be found regarding Greenland, following President Donald Trump’s pledge to negotiate the matter. Pompeo said that technical-level meetings will be held with partners in Greenland and Denmark, and that a process has been put in place that will lead to a positive outcome for everyone. Trump had previously floated the idea of the U.S. acquiring the vast Arctic island, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark, but backed away from the idea of a forceful takeover after talks with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg at Davos, and subsequently withdrew a threat of tariffs on European countries that opposed his plans.
