Trump and his administration's push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland has caused tension with NATO allies who assert that the semiautonomous Danish territory should determine its own future.
The post comes ahead of Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio's meeting with the Danish and Greenlandic foreign ministers at the White House on Wednesday morning.
Vance and Rubio will be meeting with Denmark’s foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and his Greenlandic counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt.

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen told a news conference in Copenhagen on Tuesday that "if we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU," the AP reported.
Trump later responded to Nielsen, saying "I disagree with him. I don’t know who he is. I don’t know anything about him. But, that’s going to be a big problem for him," according to the AP.
Vance's office and the Embassy of Denmark in the U.S. did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.
