Denmark slams 'tone' of Vance's Greenland remark

COPENHAGEN — Denmark said on Saturday it did not like the "tone" of US Vice-President JD Vance's comment that Copenhagen had not done enough for Greenland. Vance said this during his uninvited visit to the Danish territory, which is coveted by US President Donald Trump.

"We are open to criticisms, but let me be completely honest — we do not appreciate the tone in which it's being delivered," Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on social media.

"This is not how you speak to your close allies, and I still consider Denmark and the United States to be close allies."
