Jan. 16 (UPI) -- A Congressional delegation is visiting Denmark to offer support to the country and NATO allies as President Donald Trump continues his push to take control of Greenland.
Sen. Chris Coons, D-Vt., is leading the delegation that includes Democrats and Republicans from both chambers. They met with Danish and Greenlandic officials to reiterate their support for Greenland's territorial integrity.
On Thursday, Denmark's Minister for Foreign Affairs Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Greenland Minister of Foreign Affairs Vivian Motzfeldt met with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington, but the meeting didn't end in a diplomatic solution to the ongoing tension.
"Today, I'm leading a bipartisan delegation to Denmark to meet with Danish and Greenlandic leaders. Congress is unified in wanting to thank our NATO allies and stand firm against unnecessary threats to trusted partners," Coons posted X Friday morning.
