US Congressional Delegation to Greenland to Allay Fears

A bipartisan delegation from the US Congress will travel to Greenland and Denmark to allay fears sparked by President Trump's statements regarding a potential takeover of the island. Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland due to its strategic location and rich mineral resources, even leaving open the possibility of using force. The Congressional visit, led by Senator Chris Coons, aims to reassure US allies of their commitment to NATO and emphasize the need for cooperation and respect for territorial integrity. Denmark and Greenland have already expressed their opposition to a potential US acquisition of the island.
