stance that has alarmed NATO allies. “Our message is clear: at a time of international instability, we draw closer to our allies, not further apart,” Coons said in a statement ahead of the visit, emphasizing strong U.S. congressional support for NATO and longstanding transatlantic partnerships. The delegation’s itinerary includes meetings with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland’s Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen, where lawmakers are expected to stress respect for territorial integrity and international law. Officials in Copenhagen have voiced concern over Trump’s rhetoric, which some fear could undermine trust between allied nations. Republican Senators, including Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis, are part of the delegation, reflecting bipartisan unease in Congress. Lawmakers from both major parties have recently discussed measures to restrict presidential war powers in relation to the Arctic territory, saying decisions of such consequence should involve legislative approval. The visit follows high-level discussions in Washington this week, where Danish and Greenlandic officials met with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Danish authorities later said they did not succeed in shifting the U.S. position on Greenland, underscoring the complexity of the dispute. Greenland’s geographic location, vast mineral resources, and role within NATO’s northern strategy have made it a focal point of geopolitical interest. For now, however, lawmakers in Copenhagen are seeking to calm anxieties, boost confidence in allied commitments, and signal that parliamentary voices in Washington remain firmly engaged in shaping the debate.
