A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers is set to visit Denmark this week amidst escalating tensions over President Donald Trump’s renewed threats to take control of Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Danish kingdom that hosts a U.S. airbase. The visit comes as Congressman Randy Fine tables an act to annex Greenland, despite opposition from the majority of the territory’s residents.
Greenland’s Prime Minister, Kim Kielsen, made a strong statement in support of Denmark, saying, “We choose Denmark over the U.S.” This sentiment was echoed by Danish leader Mette Frederiksen, who has been vocal in her opposition to Trump’s plans for Greenland.
The U.S. administration’s aggressive stance towards Greenland has raised concerns about the future of NATO, with experts warning that a U.S. attack on Greenland could divide the alliance. Washington has accused Copenhagen of not doing enough to protect Greenland, further straining relations between the two countries.
The situation has sparked a debate on social media platforms, with users expressing a range of opinions on the issue. Some are critical of Trump’s takeover threats, while others support the idea of annexing Greenland.
As tensions continue to rise, it remains to be seen how the visit of U.S. lawmakers to Denmark will impact the situation. The outcome of the discussions between the two countries could have far-reaching implications for the future of Greenland and its relationship with the U.S.
