A bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation, led by Sen. Chris Coons, will visit Copenhagen to reinforce U.S.-Denmark relations in response to President Trump's threats to acquire Greenland. The delegation aims to meet with Danish and Greenlandic officials on Friday and Saturday.

Trump has expressed intent to secure Greenland to prevent Russian or Chinese influence, while Danish and Greenlandic leaders assert that Greenland's future should be determined by its people. China warned against U.S. actions in the Arctic.

The U.S. has military presence in Greenland under a 1951 defense agreement. The delegation considered visiting Greenland but faced logistical issues. Danish officials have emphasized NATO's role in Greenland's defense.
