Milan, Jan. 8 (LaPresse/AP) – Denmark has welcomed a meeting with the United States scheduled for next week to discuss President Donald Trump’s renewed request to place Greenland, a strategic Arctic island rich in minerals, under American control. “This is the necessary dialogue, as requested by the government together with the Greenlandic government,” Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen told Danish broadcaster DR. The Greenlandic government has confirmed that Greenland will participate in the meeting between Denmark and the United States announced by Rubio. “Nothing about Greenland without Greenland. Of course we will be there. We are the ones who requested the meeting,” said Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt.
