India, Jan. 7 -- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday said he would be meeting with Denmark next week over talks on Greenland.

The statement of the US Secretary comes even as President Donald Trump has repeated claims that he wants to gain control of Greenland.

"I'll be meeting with them (Denmark officials) next week," Rubio told reporters, AFP reported.

Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark, which is a longtime US ally that has rejected Trump's overtures. The government in Greenland is also opposed to US intervention on the island, saying the people of Greenland will decide their own future.
