Foreign Minister to US: "We do not appreciate your tone"

Denmark is receptive to criticism, says Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen in a video clip he has shared on X. The statement is aimed at the US after Vice President JD Vance's critical remarks against Denmark during yesterday's visit to Greenland.

- But let me be completely honest: We do not appreciate the tone in which it is being conveyed. This is not how you talk to your close allies and I still consider Denmark and the US to be close allies, he says.

He adds that he understands the US's desire to increase its military presence on the island - and that both Denmark and Greenland are ready to discuss the matter. But the most important thing is that it is done together, according to Lars Løkke Rasmussen.
