Congressional delegation heads to Denmark to ease concerns about Trump's Greenland threats

A group of 11 U.S. lawmakers led by Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) has landed in Denmark for a visit “to demonstrate strong bipartisan and bicameral support in Congress” for the NATO ally as President Donald Trump continues to float his hopes of acquiring Greenland.

“Our goal is to just thank the Danes for having been good and solid and reliable NATO partners and allies, to have a respectful conversation about how we can jointly and constructively address Arctic security concerns, how we might be partners in sustainably developing Greenland’s resources, but bluntly, also to assert that we don’t think threats against a trusted NATO ally are constructive or necessary,” Coons said.
