A bipartisan group of lawmakers will travel to Denmark in the wake of a recent push by President Trump to acquire Greenland, which is a Danish territory.
The group includes Sens. Chris Coons (D-Del.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), as well as Reps. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.) and Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.), according to a report from Hannah Brant and Joe Khalil of NewsNation, The Hill’s sister station.
Several of the senators have been unnerved by recent statements from admistration officials about taking Greenland by force. The remarks have also unsettled officials in Greenland and Denmark, as well as other European capitols.
The president’s threats targeting Greenland came into the spotlight again following the American operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Trump has often discussed acquiring Greenland, which has many mineral resources and a strategic location that could boost American national security. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday said that there was not a “timeline” for the U.S. to take over Greenland.
