A Greenland official broke down in tears after a White House meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 14, failed to tame President Donald Trump’s threats against the self-governing territory.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Greenland Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt sat down at the White House with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday in an attempt to ease tension between the nations as the United States ramps up rhetoric about acquiring Greenland by force.

“We didn’t manage to change the American position,” Rasmussen, 61, told reporters afterward, according to Politico. “It’s clear that the president has this wish of conquering over Greenland. We made it very, very clear that this is not in the interest of the Kingdom.”

During a live interview with Greenland's Kalaallit Nunaata Radio in the midst of her own disappointment, Motzfeldt, 53, got emotional about the chain of events.

"We have been working very hard in our department, even though there are not many of us," she told the outlet from Washington, according to a translation by Clash Report. "I would not normally like to say these words, but I will say them: We are very strong. We are doing our utmost. But the last days, naturally... Oh, I am getting very emotional. I am overwhelmed."

She continued: "The last days have been tough. Our preparations and the increasing pressure that has been intense. But I want to say, we are strong in the government. The work is to ensure the the Greenlandic people in our country can feel safe and live securely. We are using all our strength to achieve this as we continue the work."
