Greenland is hosting annual meetings with US officials to discuss bilateral ties at the end of a year in which US President Donald Trump ramped up talk of a US takeover of the mineral-rich island that is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark. The meeetings starting Monday will include a bilateral “joint committee” meeting between Greenland and US officials that will discuss cooperation “in a number of important areas,” according to a statement from Greenland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Science. A separate “permanent committee” meeting will involve the Danish Government. Similar meetings were held last year in the United States.
