Greenland's prime minister said that his country chooses Denmark over the United States, even as US President Donald Trump insists Washington will eventually take over the island.
Greenland residents are also telling Trump to keep his hands off their land.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen will meet with his Greenland counterpart and US Vice President JD Vance to discuss the Arctic island.
Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said if the US takes Greenland by force it would spell the end of the NATO alliance.
Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said the the territory will never be owned, governed or be part of the US. He said it will remain under the Kingdom of Denmark.
Trump says he wants the island to expand US security, saying that Russian and Chinese ships pose a threat.
Greenland residents have dismissed Trump's fears.
A Nuuk resident said: "I think he (Trump) should mind his own business...What is he going to do with Greenland? He speaks of Russians and Chinese and everything in Greenlandic waters, in our country. We are only 57,000 people. The only Chinese I see is when I go to the fast food market. And every summer we go sailing and we go hunting and I never saw Russian or Chinese ships here in Greenland."
