Trump has repeatedly insisted he will settle for nothing less than ownership of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.

"As members of NATO, we are committed to strengthening Arctic security as a shared transatlantic interest," Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Britain stated.

Those tariffs would increase to 25% on June 1 and would continue until a deal was reached for the US to purchase Greenland, Trump wrote.

Modest European deployments, meant to help Denmark prepare for military exercises, sent a strong message of support for Greenland's sovereignty.

The Danish FM clarified that any “ideas that would not respect [the] territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are unacceptable."

The delegation will be led by Democratic US Senator Chris Coons and will include Republican US Senator Thom Tillis and Democratic Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Dick Durbin.

"It is solely up to Denmark and Greenland to decide about Greenland's future. Territorial sovereignty and integrity must be respected," Klingbeil said.

An acquisition of Greenland may give the United States more control over the Arctic region and an ability to counter aggression in a strategic region, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said.

Denmark has historically accommodated the US presence because Copenhagen lacks the capability to defend Greenland and benefits from US security guarantees through NATO.

Barrot said the subject would be raised at his meeting with the foreign ministers of Germany and Poland later in the day.
