A bipartisan congressional delegation led by Sen. Chris Coons will visit Denmark and Greenland as President Donald Trump threatens to seize Greenland. Rep. Gregory Meeks, who is joining the trip, warned that breaking up NATO would make Americans less safe.
A nine-person bipartisan, bicameral congressional delegation plans to meet with officials in Denmark and Greenland. The trip is led by Delaware Sen. Chris Coons, who said the delegation aims to signal Congress’s commitment to NATO and other alliances.
Trump has argued that U.S. ownership of Greenland is needed to protect Americans and has threatened to pursue the matter “the hard way.” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said a U.S. takeover would effectively end NATO. Meeks said the move would hurt American safety, arguing that breaking up the alliance would make the United States less safe and calling the prospect “colonialism.”
