Bipartisan Congressional Delegation Visits Denmark, Contradicts Trump on Greenland
An 11-member bipartisan congressional delegation led by Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) traveled to Copenhagen to reassure Danish officials. Republicans Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis joined the trip. Lawmakers stated Greenland should be seen as a U.S. ally "not as an asset" — directly contradicting Trump's annexation push and signaling rare intra-Republican dissent on foreign policy.
