The United States may soon have a consulate in Greenland for the first time in decades, as President Trump’s administration considers opening one amid increased interest in the region.

In a letter to Congress obtained by the Associated Press on Friday, the State Department explained that reestablishing a consulate in Nuuk is part of the Trump administration’s broader plan to increase the U.S. presence in the Arctic. According to the letter, the U.S. has a “strategic interest in enhancing political, economic, and commercial relationships across the Arctic region.”
