NATO Secretary General has held a phone call with Donald Trump to discuss the situation in Greenland and the Arctic.
Without revealing many details about the discussion, Mark Rutte said that "we will continue to work on this."
"I look forward to seeing him in Davos later this week," he added, according to the Telegraph.
We recall that world leaders will gather in the Swiss city for the World Economic Forum.
Meanwhile, Denmark's Foreign Minister, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, says he has spoken with his Norwegian counterpart in Oslo.
Rasmussen began by telling reporters that the war in Ukraine is at a critical point and said that this should not be forgotten during discussions on Greenland.
He went on to say that Denmark is trying to convince Donald Trump to abandon the idea that he should own Greenland.
But despite the US president's threats, Rasmussen said his country would like to continue exploring a diplomatic path forward.
After meeting with US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington this week, Rasmussen said a high-level working group would be set up to "explore whether we can find a common way forward."
The group is expected to meet for the first time "within a few weeks."
The developments come as Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom issued a joint statement today, condemning recent US threats to impose tariffs over Greenland, reaffirming their commitment to security in the Arctic while preserving their sovereignty.
"Tariff threats damage transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. We will continue to stand united and coordinated in our response. We are committed to defending our sovereignty," the statement said.
It reiterates the eight countries' commitment to strengthening security in the Arctic "as a shared transatlantic interest." /Telegrafi/
