Rasmussen and Rubio spoke during a 20-minute telephone call in January, a week after Frederiksen and Trump had their own ill-tempered call regarding the island.<\/p>\n<p>A US state department spokesperson declined to comment when asked about plans for the meeting this week.<\/p>\n<p>Denmark, which has previously tried to ignore Trump\u2019s demands and urged its allies not to respond to his comments, has shifted tactics in recent weeks in a bid to compete with Washington\u2019s rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>Rasmussen this weekend publicly hit back at Trump administration\u2019s attacks on Copenhagen\u2019s management of Greenland. \u201cOf course, we are open to criticism,\u201d he said. \u201cBut let me be completely honest: We do not appreciate the tone in which it\u2019s being delivered\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009this is not how you speak to your close allies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The strain placed on Greenland by the pressure from the Trump administration was visible in a series of extraordinary events on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>First, Greenland\u2019s longtime foreign minister, Vivian Motzfeldt, said Frederiksen\u2019s visit, which is to begin on Wednesday, was \u201cinappropriate\u201d as a new government will only be formally approved next week. \u201cGood co-operation is linked to equality, and this is not equal,\u201d Motzfeldt added.<\/p>\n<p>Then, only a few minutes later, the island\u2019s prime minister-designate Jens-Frederik Nielsen pushed back against his future foreign minister by saying Frederiksen\u2019s visit was \u201cstill on\u201d and that he was \u201cpersonally looking forward to it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Some Greenlandic politicians initially seized on Trump\u2019s interest to try to push their desire for independence from Copenhagen, but increasingly there are signs that Greenlanders see dangers in too hasty a separation from Denmark.<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by James Politi in Washington<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the
