A bipartisan group of members of the US Congress has been visiting Denmark to show support in the face of increasing pressure from President Donald Trump for the US to annex Greenland – a semi-autonomous region of Denmark in the Arctic.
The 11-member delegation met MPs as well as Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and her Greenlandic counterpart Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
Group leader Senator Chris Coons said their trip was to listen to the locals and take their views back to Washington “to lower the temperature”.
