What message did the bipartisan delegation of US Senators deliver in Greenland?
United States senators from both parties, Republicans and Democrats and independents, sent a delegation of 10 senators to Greenland, to Nuuk, where they wanted to send a powerful message to the people of Greenland and the people of Denmark. We have your back and we on a bipartisan basis in the United States do not support Donald Trump's threats against Greenland, against Denmark, against NATO. If he moves on Greenland and NATO, we will make sure that he is impeached, that he is thrown out, that he is convicted. that he is gone, and we will use all of our resources in the United States Senate to ensure that there is not an invasion. We will do everything to protect you. I mean, you had Republican senators there like Murkowski and Tillis and others joining with Democrats like Shaheen and Coons and others.
Let me show you what went down when the United States senators were there in Congress. Greenland in Nuuk, standing side by side with Greenlandic and Denmark lawmakers, the prime minister of Denmark, the prime minister or premier of Greenland. First, here is Murkowski in her speech that she gave. Short clip.
How do US lawmakers view Trump's threats against Greenland and NATO?
Let's play it. And this is from Nuuk. Play this clip.
Thank you. Thank you for your continued friendship, your leadership. And to my friend and the leader of our delegation, Senator Coons, thank you for for leading. such a strong bipartisan and, as you point out, bicameral delegation. I think that that's important. I think it's important that it be recognized that when it comes to matters of relationships with our friends, with our allies, as we have here in Denmark, as we have in Greenland, that it is not a subject of Republicans versus Democrats. It is a recognition.
What insights did the Greenlandic lawmaker share during the meeting?
again, of a strong and a continuing relationship over decades. It is one that we need to nurture, as with all relationships, you need to nurture and take care of them, and you need to have constructive dialogue. And as has been noted, there's not only been good dialogue here at the Parliament today, but this morning earlier with the Prime Minister of both Greenland and of Denmark. Just yesterday in Washington, DC, we had visits with the foreign ministers of both Greenland and Denmark. So constructive, important dialogue that is ongoing now and will move forward. So it's important to be here. I think presence means a lot. And this, again, bipartisan delegation to be here with our partners is important.
What did Senator Shaheen warn about regarding Trump's actions towards Greenland?
So thank you for the opportunity to share the time and again, the fellowship. We appreciate it.
This is from Senator Coons. Let's play it.
This is a 10-member bipartisan bicameral dialogue from the United States Senate and the United States House. And we are grateful for your hospitality. For 225 years of being a good and trusted ally and partner, we had a strong and robust dialogue about how we extend that into the future. We expressed our gratitude for the sacrifice of Danes who served and fought and died alongside Americans when we were attacked 25 years ago. We spoke about the value of NATO and the commitment to respecting the core principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and self-determination. And we spoke with clarity about the importance that the people of Greenland make their decisions about their future.
How does the current US administration's stance on Greenland affect NATO?
So it was a constructive and hopeful dialogue, and we look forward to continuing.
Next, I'll show you what a Greenlandic lawmaker had to say. Play this clip.
It was really important for us at the Greenlandic government to attend this meeting with the senators and representatives because we have really wanted to have a dialogue with them. And dialogue is first and foremost really important for us. And I hope we can continue. And I hope it is the first of many, many more dialogues we can have in the future. because we are a member of NATO, and we are happy to cooperate through NATO. And I think we have lots and much more to work with each other on in these situations, because NATO has been here for many, many years, and we hope that it will stay many more years to come. Thank you.
What are the implications of Trump's rhetoric on US relations with allies?
And next, we'll show you what Senator Shaheen said and warned Donald Trump about.
