Big support for Danes

TROOPS from several European countries have continued to arrive in Greenland in a show of support for Denmark as talks among representatives of Denmark, Greenland and the US highlighted “fundamental disagreement” over the future of the Arctic island.
-
The disagreement came into starker focus on Thursday, with the White House describing plans for more talks with officials from Denmark and Greenland as “technical talks on the acquisition agreement” for the US to acquire Greenland.
That was a far cry from the way Danish foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen described it as a working group that would discuss ways to work through differences between the nations.
Before the talks began on Wednesday, Denmark announced it would increase its military presence in Greenland.
