European officials cited by POLITICO stated they do not view U.S. Vice President JD Vance as an ally in talks over Greenland or the transatlantic relationship in general, with one diplomat saying "Vance hates us," as reported over the past 90 minutes through 11:45 AM UTC on January 15, 2026. Another European official told POLITICO it was positive that Vance was engaged, noting he "calls the shots" and has a good relationship with President Donald Trump, according to the same report shared via an X post by @FaytuksNetwork during this period. POLITICO also reported that a meeting on January 14 between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland ended without a breakthrough, with a working group tasked to continue efforts toward a possible compromise. These developments occur amid earlier reports this morning of a confidential U.S. plan to annex Greenland within three days, as detailed by French outlet Le Grand Continent between 9:47 AM and 10:16 AM UTC, alongside Danish army soldiers' arrival and deployment to Arctic Command headquarters in Greenland.
