In a significant diplomatic development, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Wednesday that the United States has initiated a procedural framework focusing on Greenland. This framework includes upcoming technical meetings with officials from both Greenland and Denmark.

Addressing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio expressed optimism about the process, indicating it could lead to a favorable outcome for involved parties. The U.S. interest in Greenland has sparked tension in transatlantic relations and prompted European nations to seek reduced dependency on the United States.

These diplomatic discussions transpire in the context of President Trump's recent decision to withdraw proposed tariffs and his commitment not to pursue forceful measures regarding Greenland.
