""I hope that the people of the Kingdom of Denmark do not abandon their faith in the American people," Coons said in Copenhagen, adding that the U.S. has respect for Denmark and NATO "for all we've done together.""
""I will not go into the political part, but I will say that I would never expect a NATO country to attack another NATO country," he told the AP on Saturday aboard a Danish military vessel docked in Nuuk."
""For us, for me, it's not about signaling. It is actually about training military units, working together with allies.""
A bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation visited Denmark and Greenland to reassure leaders and citizens of continued U.S. support after provocative remarks about Greenland. Senator Chris Coons said the rhetoric has caused concern across the Danish kingdom and emphasized a desire to de-escalate and express respect for Denmark and NATO. Danish Major Gen. Søren Andersen said he would never expect a NATO country to attack another and described recent European troop deployments to Nuuk as training rather than signaling. NATO allies met in Greenland to plan Arctic security and invited the U.S. to participate in Operation Arctic Endurance. Andersen reported no Chinese or Russian combat vessels sighted.
