- Denmark's Foreign Minister described recent talks with US officials as constructive, expressing hope for continued dialogue despite the tariff threats.

A: Hey! Did you hear about something crazy happening with Trump?

B: No! What’s up? Tell me!

A: He wants to buy Greenland! Can you believe it?

B: Seriously?! That's wild! But what about the tariffs?

A: Right! He’s putting a 10% tariff on goods from eight European countries. It's going to go up too!

B: Wow, that's not cool. What did those countries do?

A: They issued a joint statement! Denmark, Germany, France… all of them.

A: They're saying it’s about a military exercise they did together. They want to keep Arctic security strong.

B: So, Trump thinks they’re doing something dangerous with Greenland?

A: Exactly! They’re saying his tariffs are hurting their relationship. They want to talk things out.

B: That’s good. Did they talk to anyone in the US?

A: Yeah, the Danish Foreign Minister said they had a meeting with the US Vice President. It was “constructive,” he said.

B: Fingers crossed they can sort it out! There’s a big meeting in Belgium soon, too.

A: Totally! Hopefully they can avoid a “downward spiral,” as they put it!
