Republican Senators Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska are scheduled to travel to Copenhagen to assure Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen that the U.S. will not take Greenland by force.
The trip comes amid escalating tensions around comments from President Donald Trump about acquiring the Arctic territory which has alarmed Denmark, Greenland and many U.S. lawmakers. Frederiksen and Greenlandic leaders have reaffirmed that the territory is not for sale and that its sovereignty is non-negotiable.
