NUUK, Jan 14 (Reuters) - In a blue wooden house ‌perched above Nuuk's sprawling fjord, Liv Aurora Jensen sat in her living room surrounded by the trappings of Greenlandic life — handmade cutting boards and ‌ceramics, and Greenland's red and white flags tucked in beside a potted plant.

With her husband Peter Jensen and their son Inuk, she waited ‌in near silence in front of the television as a meeting between U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark got under way in the White House, some 2,000 miles away.
