U.S. Senators to White House: Greenland is Not for Sale

A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has issued a direct call for the Trump administration to respect Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland. The statement comes after repeated, confirmed interest from President Donald Trump in purchasing the autonomous Danish territory. The senators emphasized that the United States "must honor its treaty obligations and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark." The rare joint message from both Republican and Democratic senators underscores serious concern in Congress. It signals that any push to acquire Greenland would face significant political opposition. Greenland is the world's largest island. While internally self-governing, its defense and foreign policy remain under Danish control. The U.S. has a major strategic air base there.
