Alaska Senator Murkowski and Danish Parliament Member Oppose Trump's Greenland Acquisition Plan
Jan 27, 2025, 10:09 PM
U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) has publicly opposed President Donald Trump's efforts to acquire Greenland, emphasizing that the Arctic island should be viewed as an 'ally, not an asset.' In a joint statement with Aaja Chemnitz, a member of the Danish Parliament representing Greenland, Murkowski asserted that Greenland is 'not for sale.' The statement highlighted Greenland's strategic importance for defense, shipping, and its mineral resources, but stressed the need for partnership rather than ownership. This comes in response to Trump's repeated demands for Denmark to sell Greenland to the United States, with threats of military seizure if Denmark refuses. The governments of Denmark and Greenland have firmly stated that the island is not for sale. Both Murkowski and Chemnitz are co-chairs of the Arctic Parliamentarians forum, advocating for increased cooperation between the U.S. and Greenland on defense, mineral development, and trade, recognizing Greenland as a Danish territory.
