European diplomats were left on edge by JD Vance, saying the vice president 'hates us' following a meeting between the Trump administration and representatives of Denmark and Greenland.
Vance was joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio for the summit with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and his Greenlandic counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt.
They ended the diplomatic discussion still having a 'fundamental disagreement.'
Rasmussen acknowledged that 'we didn't manage to change the American position' but said he hadn't expected to.
President Donald Trump has been insistent on seizing Greenland and has not ruled out taking it by force - although Republicans see that scenario as unlikely.
One anonymous European diplomat told Politico that Vance served as Trump's attack dog, saying: 'Vance hates us.'
