In January 2026, a US congressional delegation visited Denmark and Greenland to reassure the countries following previous threats and demands from former US President Donald Trump regarding US control of Greenland. The delegation, comprised of senators and members of the House of Representatives, held a press conference in Copenhagen. The visit occurred amidst protests in Copenhagen supporting Greenland and its autonomy. The leader of the Inuit Circumpolar Council in Greenland responded to Trump's previous demands by stating that there is "no such thing as a better colonizer". The delegation sought to reaffirm the US commitment to its relationships with Denmark and Greenland.
