Today, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), co-chairs of the Senate NATO Observer Group, released a bipartisan statement condemning recent rhetoric from the Trump administration regarding Greenland. They emphasized that when Denmark and Greenland make clear the territory is not for sale, the United States must honor its treaty commitments and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark.
The senators also warned that with an ongoing war in Ukraine and growing threats from Russia and China in the Arctic and Indo-Pacific, NATO cannot afford internal divisions or unnecessary distractions.
